Oscar Stanton De Priest
Oscar Stanton De Priest (March 9, 1871 – May 12, 1951) was an American lawmaker and civil rights advocate who served as a U.S. Representative from Illinois from 1929 to 1935. He was the first African American to be elected to Congress from outside the southern states and the first in the 20th century.
==Early life==
De Priest was born in Florence, Alabama to former slaves. His mother worked part-time as a laundress, and his father, whose name was Leander, was a teamster associated with the "Exodus" movement, which arose after the American Civil War to help blacks escape continued oppression in the South by moving to other states that offered greater freedom. In 1878, the De Priests left for Dayton, Ohio, after the elder De Priest had to save his friend, former Congressman James T. Rapier, from a lynch mob and another black man was killed on their doorstep. He had a brother named Robert De Priest.
