The Hamilton County Black Caucus is organizing to seek enough signatures to form a third political party here, a news release states.
"We're going to create a force in this city that is going to represent those who are voiceless," said local Nation of Islam leader Kevin Muhammad, who co-founded the caucus with Westside Baptist Church Pastor Timothy Careathers.
The group, which will meet at 6 p.m. Thursday at Eastdale Village Community Church, needs 3,363 signatures to form a minor political party that would be recognized only in Hamilton County. The Black Caucus calls it the Justice Party.
Those signatures would represent about 2.5 percent of all votes that were cast in Hamilton County in the gubernatorial election in November 2018, the release states.
