RALEIGH — New executive officers for the African-American Caucus of the North Carolina Democratic Party will be sworn in Saturday.

The caucus promotes political participation and education within the African-American community and encourages African-Americans to seek public office.

The group works with the Democratic Party leadership to strengthen the party as a whole.

Executive officers were elected Nov. 11 at a convention in Greensboro. They will be installed Associate Justice Michael Morgan of the N.C. Supreme Court.

Saturday’s ceremony will be at 1 p.m. at Goodwin House, 220 Hillsborough St. in Raleigh.

The officers include:

• Linda Wilkins-Daniels, president.
• John L. Moore, first vice president.
• Phyllis Perry, second vice president.
• Natalie Murdock, third vice president.
• Sandra Cooley, secretary.
• Linda Johnson-Spence, treasurer.
• Corey Gee, parliamentarian.

Wilkins-Daniels said the caucus is working on a plan to take North Carolina in a “new direction.”

“The African-American Caucus of the North Carolina Democratic Party is implementing a new strategic plan across the state … ,” she said. “(It’s) a part of a bigger reorganizational plan being developed by the caucus members. … The intent is to unify the vote of all those whose voices are not being heard.”
