is the premier celebration of the 50th

Anniversary of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF)—a milestone

moment honoring five decades of leadership, policy impact, and community advancement.  

Hosted in Washington, D.C., the gala convenes national policymakers, corporate and philanthropic partners, CBCF alumni, cultural leaders, and next generation changemakers for an evening that reflects both the legacy and the future of Black leadership in America. 

For 50 years, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation has served as a cornerstone institution—developing leaders, informing policy, and advancing equity through research, education, and civic engagement. The Legacy & Leadership Gala is not only a celebration of the past, but a call to action for the next generation. It honors visionary founders and legacy leaders, highlights policy impact and community progress, and inspires continued investment in leadership pipelines and public service.
