Pierre Caliste Landry
Pierre Caliste Landry (April 19, 1841 – December 22, 1921) was an American slave who after the American Civil War became an attorney, Methodist Episcopal minister, and politician in Louisiana. He is best remembered for being elected in 1868 as mayor of Donaldsonville, making him the first African American to be elected mayor in the United States.
==Early life and education==
Pierre Caliste Landry was born into slavery in 1841 on the Prevost sugar cane plantation in Ascension Parish, the son of Marcelite Prevost, a slave and cook, and Roseman Landry, a white laborer. The plantation had one of the largest slave populations devoted to sugar cultivation in the state.
Landry was sold at auction, at age 13, to the Bringier family, which owned 35,000 acres on various plantations. He was likely purchased as the property of Louis Amedée Bringier, who was born on and had inherited the Hermitage Plantation in Ascension Parish (other Bringier plantations were located in St. James Parish).〔("Col. Louis Amedée Bringier, C.S.A." ), My Southern Family, Freepages, Rootsweb〕〔("Hermitage Plantation" ), Official web page with contact information; accessed 07 May 2015.〕
Landry was educated in the plantation's primary and technical schools. He was also tutored by the ministers W.D. Goodman and A.L. Atkinson.〔(Shannon Burrell, "Dunn-Landry Family" ), Amistad Research Center. Tulane University〕
