Tonight, Members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) will continue the national dialogue on the state of race relations and equal justice in America during the CBC Special Order Hour on the House Floor.

Members will discuss the impact reversal of policies enacted to protect voters against discriminatory practices, the persistent assumptions that led to the death of an innocent young man, and the negative affect changes to policies and programs employed to decrease inequity, will have on our society. Members will also discuss the steps forward we must take as a nation to avoid taking continual missteps back.

The Special Order Hour is scheduled to begin around 8:20pm and can be watched live on C-SPAN.

During the hour, the CBC (@OfficialCBC) will also host a tweetup on Twitter using #CBCTalks.
