Members of the Congressional Black Caucus met with President Donald Trump on March 22 for the first time. Trump, famously, asked White House reporter April Ryan to set up a meeting between the two groups at a press conference during Black History Month. CBC leaders said they had a “candid” conversation about the needs of Black America. See story below.
