About Dr. Brian McClure

​​Brian is the Director of the DC Council Office of Racial Equity also referred to as CORE for short.

He also helped provide innovative solutions to increase opportunities for the District’s small and local businesses and in particular, Black and minority-owned businesses. 

Brian received his BA in History at Hampton University, an MA in History from North Carolina Central University, and his PhD in US History, African American History, and Atlantic World History from the University of Memphis. When he is not working at CORE, he can be found roaming local bookstores, somewhere in a local archive, barbecuing, or spending time with his wife and two children at their home in Ward 8.
