Lewis, Charles Bernard Rangel, Louis Stokes, Craig Anthony Washington, and Alan Dupree Wheat at their sections in this book. The present volume originated with the first edition of Black Americans in Congress, which was compiled and published shortly after the U.S. bicentennial. Organized by Representative Corinne Claiborne (Lindy) Boggs of Louisiana and Senator Brooke, the booklet featured the 45 African Americans who had served in Congress. A résumé-style format included basic biographical information, congressional service dates, party affiliation, committee assignments, and information about Members' other political offices. Entries were arranged chronologically, with one section for Senators and another for Representatives. A thumbnail image accompanied each profile. In a brief introduction, the renowned African-American historian Benjamin Quarles of Morgan State University wrote that black Members on Capitol Hill were "living proof that Blacks could produce an able leadership of their own. Moreover, their presence in the halls of Congress, made their Black constituents feel that they were more than bystanders-they were participants, however vicariously, in the political process." The second edition of the book, Black Americans in Congress, 1870-1989, was authorized by the House and the Senate in the fall of 1989 and was published in 1990. By that point, 66 African Americans had served in Congress. The volume was dedicated to the memory of Representative George Thomas (Mickey) Leland of Texas who, as the book went to press, was killed in a plane crash in Ethiopia while delivering food to people suffering in the famine. Representative Ronald V. Dellums of California, then the chairman of the CBC, contributed a brief introduction for the volume. "For Black Americans the promise of republican government and democratic participation was delayed well beyond the founding of the federal government in 1789," Dellums observed. "In this bicentennial year of Congress and the federal government, it is important to recognize that the Constitution we enjoy today evolved over a number of years and did not protect the civil rights of Black Americans until after a Civil War and passage of significant amendments." Created partly to commemorate the bicentennial of Congress in 1989, the volume contained 500-to 1,000-word profiles of Members, with basic biographical information. Suggestions for further reading were provided at the end of each profile. Profiles of former and current Members, arranged alphabetically, were merged into one section and accompanied by larger pictures. Second Edition (Revised), First printing thus.
