Founders

Arthur Shores, First Chairman of the Alabama Democratic Conference

The Alabama Democratic Conference was founded by Arthur Shores, Rufus Lewis, C.G. Gomillion, Q.D. Adamas, Isom Clemon, Beulah Johnson, and Orzell Billingsley in order to support John F. Kennedy's bid for the Democratic nomination for president. Since then, ADC has worked tirelessly to not only advocate for and support candidates to represent our community, but also to influence economic, social, and education policies aimed at making our communities better.

About

Greetings!  Welcome to the official website of the Alabama Democratic Conference.

The Alabama Democratic Conference is a black political caucus, co-founded by Orzell Billingsley and others, in cooperation with the national Democratic party.  Formed in 1960 as the Black Political Caucus of Alabama, it is the first statewide organization in Alabama for blacks, created to bring newly registered black voters into the Democratic ranks.

 

For more than sixty-one years, we have worked to educate the community on the importance of elections and voting rights.  Through vetting and endorsement of candidates, we strengthen our political power and target issues that impact the black community such as education, employment, economic and political empowerment.  Our work is needed more than ever to ensure that Black voices continue to be heard.

 

Our intent is to provide you with timely information on issues that will impact the communities in which you live, work, and play.
