William B. Bankhead
William Brockman Bankhead (April 12, 1874 – September 15, 1940) was an American politician from Alabama who served as U.S. Representative and Speaker of the House.〔Obituary ''Variety'', September 18, 1940.〕 Bankhead was a prominent supporter of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal of pro-labor union legislation, thus clashing with most other southern Democrats in Congress at the time.〔Robert E. Dewhirst, John David Rausch, ''Encyclopedia of the United States Congress'' (2007), p. 35.〕 Bankhead described himself as proud to be a politician, by which he meant that he did not neglect matters that concerned his district or reelection.〔Walter J. Heacock, "William B. Bankhead and the New Deal", ''The Journal of Southern History'', Vol. 21, No. 3 (Aug., 1955), pp. 347–359.〕 He was the father of Tallulah Bankhead.
