About US
Our Mission
The African American Caucus is an integral part of the North Carolina Democratic Party with the mission to grow Pitt County African-American participation in the Democratic Party.
Founded on February 8, 2003, the African American Caucus – North Carolina Democratic Party was established to fight for equality for African Americans, strengthen participation in politics, and promote education. We also represent the concerns of our members to Democratic Party leadership and ensure that the party’s positions are communicated to our members. Our goal is to organize a chapter in every county of North Carolina, in accordance with our by-laws.
Message from the President
Dear Members of the Pitt County African American Caucus,
As your president, I am honored and humbled to address such a passionate and dedicated group of individuals committed to making a difference in our community and our nation. It is essential and urgent that we focus our efforts on increasing voter registration within Pitt County and across the country. Our voice is our power and serves as a catalyst for positive change. Our power lies in our participation, and that participation starts with registration.
Imagine a future where every eligible community member is registered and empowered to vote. Picture the impact on policies affecting education, healthcare, and justice. Envision a stronger community where our voices are at the forefront of legislative and civic changes. This is not just a dream; it is within our reach if we act decisively and collaboratively.
Our voices are stronger when united, and our impact is greater when we stand together. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to our cause. Let us rise to the challenge and make our voices heard.
With respect and determination,
William Shiver
President, Pitt County African American Caucus
