> Confidential: North Carolina civil rights technician Rep. Mel Watts takes over in January the helm of the biggest ever--the 43-member Congressional Black Caucus.

Kweisi Mfume) nor the Black Caucus spoke out against the wholesale mistreatment of Black voters during the 2004 presidential election, the Tarheel state lawyer has the opportunity to bring leadership back to the people--with action and not merely rhetoric.
