The foundation has an annual golf and tennis event, a prayer breakfast and a legislative conference.

Goldson said the foundation was formed in 1976 when there were few African-American members of Congress and congressional staff members. There was an occasional secretary and others had jobs such as elevator operators.

The foundation was formed to allow African-Americans to learn about Congress and develop leadership skills.

“In all these years the CBC Foundation has really done a lot of good, and it is very sad that an infraction by a member can undo all the good work the foundation has done,” Goldson said.
