COLUMBUS – State Rep. Latyna Humphrey (D-Columbus) this week joined the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus (OLBC) and House Democrats in a press conference celebrating Black History Month and the contributions Black Ohioans have made to our state.  

“African Americans have been the backbone of this country since the beginning. It is time we celebrate and acknowledge our ancestors’ contributions by interpreting legislation that honors their strides,” said Rep. Humphrey. 

At a news conference Wednesday, Rep. Humphrey and members of the House Democratic Caucus detailed their People First Agenda legislative priorities addressing systemic inequalities and to help support and lift up the Black communities across Ohio. 

House Democrats are committed to creating a state that works for and supports all Ohioans, regardless of race, gender, income, and zip code.
