Robert Ford (politician)
Robert Ford (born December 26, 1948) is an American politician who served as a Democratic member of the South Carolina Senate since 1993, representing District 42, which is located in Charleston. From 1974 to 1992, he served as a member of the Charleston City Council.
Originally involved in the civil rights movement, several of Ford's public statements and legislative proposals as senator attracted media attention and controversy. He finished in third place in the June 2010 Democratic primary election for Governor of South Carolina. He resigned on May 31, 2013, in the midst of a political scandal on public funds spent in adult establishments.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2013-05-31 )〕
==Personal life==
Ford was born in New Orleans, Louisiana; his parents were leaders in the African American community. Ford attended Wayne State University〔 and Grambling State University, from which he was expelled in 1969 before graduating for leading civil rights demonstrations. He was expelled by the university, despite it being historically black, because it relied on public funds which were controlled by a state government opposed to desegregation.〔 Ford was a member of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference staff from 1966 to 1972〔 and worked for Martin Luther King, Jr. as a member of an advance team of the Poor People's Campaign. He was arrested 73 times for participating in protests during the civil rights movement. In 1973, he won a draft evasion trial on basis of conscientious objection.〔 Ford worked as a car salesman and later became a full-time legislator.〔 Ford is a lifelong bachelor.〔
