This section highlights select tables and textual analysis as a way to provide detailed examples of Black Elected Officials (BEO) Roster data in key categories drawn from over 30 years of BEO data collected by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies since 1970.

Each set of BEO roster data in a particular category is introduced with textual analysis providing an overview followed by a number of detailed tables providing either numerical statistical data or key lists of select BEOS.

The first category added has a textual analysis entitled African Americans in Statewide Office: Recent Trends, 2002-2007

This textual analysis is followed by a statistical table (Table 1. Black Statewide Elected Officials, 2002-2007).
