Our Advocacy
The Caucus was established in 1978 under the leadership of Dr. Charles Matthews. Dr. Charles Matthews, Deputy Superintendent at North Forest ISD, served as President of North Forest Teachers Association and was politically active on African American education issues. While in a Doctoral program at Texas Southern University, he was contacted by the Professor of Education Dr. Wayne Carle (Anglo) and asked if he would work with and establish an organization for the Texas African American school board members.
