The Oklahoma Black Caucus Foundation (OBCF) is a nonprofit organization that continues to zealously serve as a strong advocate of education. Biennially, the OBCF requests the presence of many distinguished citizens at the A. C. Hamlin Awards Banquet. The banquet is named in honor of Oklahoma’s first African American legislator. The proceeds from the banquet are used to provide scholarships to deserving college students at Langston University. Langston University is the only historically black college or university (HBCU) in the state of Oklahoma.
