Welcome to the latest edition of the Congressional Black  Caucus Foundation's InFocus quarterly newsletter! As we step into a new season, we are thrilled to share with you the impactful strides we've made in our mission to advance the global Black community. In this newsletter, you will find a wealth of information ranging from upcoming events that you can participate in, groundbreaking research findings, opportunities for internships and scholarships, as well as inspiring stories from the individuals whose lives have been touched by your generous support. Thank you for being an integral part of our journey, and we hope you enjoy reading about the progress we've achieved together. Journal of the Center for Policy Analysis & Research In February 2024, we released our new Journal of the Center for Policy Analysis & Research (JCPAR), “The Nexus: Defining the Moment.” This special edition of research highlights how the past five year’s have been transformative for the Black community, and this period, colored by a polarized Trump presidency, a divided congress, and the highest number of Black American elected officials since the Reconstruction Era, has brought us to a nexus. Featuring 11 articles of research, the JCPAR provides insight into the issues impacting Black communities and actionable solutions for policymakers.
