Southern Blacks in Major Leadership Roles in Congress for First Time

The Wall Street Journal published an article by staff writer David Rogers on Wednesday on "Southern Blacks' Ascent to Top Posts in Congress." Great piece and it's a reminder that a change in the control of Congress not only can shift policies and priorities, but it can also change history. African Americans and Hispanics have great allies and stronger direct representation with this new Congress - and I hope this translates into greater progress on many important issues.
