    [Note: at the bottom of the chart it says 45 - 2 = 44. It should, of course, say 46-2=44] I had trouble finding a clear number of Black members of Congress last February. So I went through the lists I could find and made a chart. I updated it after the November election as best as I could. I think that I've now gotten that last questions straightened out. There are now 39 Black Members of Congress plus two non-voting Black delegates. One Black seat was lost in the House and the only Black seat in the Senate was vacated after Obama was elected President.
