Born in Birmingham, Alabama, he served in World War II and won three bronze stars for piloting missions. He moved to Washington, DC in 1946, for graduate school in economics at Howard University followed by career positions at the Library of Congress and then the Social Security Administration. As Chair of the Washington chapter of CORE (Congress of Racial Equality), Hobson directly challenged the segregation that had long stifled opportunities for black citizens in the District. In the early 1960s, he ran 85 picket lines against businesses, negotiated 60 agreements to hire black workers, helped secure over 4000 jobs for African Americans, demanded fair housing regulations, and launched a lawsuit that led to the desegregation of Washington, DC’s schools. He announced his candidacy for the District’s delegate to the US House of Representatives under the Statehood Party in 1971 but lost to Walter Fauntroy. Later he served as an at large member of the District’s Council from 1974 till his death in 1977. He was joined by his wife, Tina Hobson, a graduate of Stanford University and employee at the National Institute for Public Affairs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2e1e6fa034128ce7ea1f9/1592344215131-XSUB4RGC3D7REDJIY79Y/2-+Walter+Fauntroy.jpg Advocates - WALTER FAUNTROY (1933-- ) Walter Edward Fauntroy, former pastor of the New Bethel Baptist Church, came to believe his Christian faith was more than Sunday sermons and began to engage in civil rights protests. Fauntroy collaborated on the historic 1963 March on Washington but also worked to improve inner city neighborhoods. He became Washington, DC’s first non-voting delegate to Congress, a position he held for 20 years. Fauntroy used the changing political dynamics in the South to foster support for democracy in Washington. He developed a map that pinpointed congressional districts where the Black vote could be the margin of victory. And that’s where he would travel for what he called the ‘arithmetic of political power.’ Fauntroy played one of the key roles in moving the District toward home rule. It was work that he did quietly behind the scene. In 1972, Fauntroy landed one of his biggest victories — helping defeat Rep. John McMillan, the South Carolina Democrat who for years had oppressed the District. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2e1e6fa034128ce7ea1f9/1592344267105-02DX2KYHLE2S7HZ76TEU/3-+Marion+Barry.jpg Advocates - MARION BARRY (1936-2014) Son of a Mississippi sharecropper and domestic worker, his father died when Barry was four. Barry was a civil rights activist who became the first national chair of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Barry moved to DC in 1965, and co-founded Pride, Inc., a job training program for low-income residents. He became a nationally recognized leader as mayor of the capital, the first civil rights activist to head a major American city. He redeveloped downtown east of 15th street and DC neighborhoods. Barry is credited for helping to build a strong black middle class in DC, opening the door to DC government leadership positions, thousands of jobs and contracts to African Americans from which they had previously been excluded. But a FBI sting led to his arrest for smoking crack cocaine and a six-month jail term. Despite this, he was reelected mayor in 1994 for a fourth term and continued to serve as mayor until 1999. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2e1e6fa034128ce7ea1f9/1593304405755-251B4QYCNA1ZVSW6S5LP/CHARLES+SUMNER.png Advocates - CHARLES SUMNER (1811-1874) Charles Sumner, an American politician and US Senator from Massachusetts, was the leader of the anti-slavery forces in his home state and of the Radical Republicans in the U.S. Senate during the period covered by our film. Sumner fought to minimize the power of the ex-Confederates and former southern slave owners. He spearheaded legislation to guarantee equal rights to the Freedmen, suffrage, free homesteads, and free public schools. He co-authored the Civil Rights Act of 1875 with John Mercer Langston, the last civil rights legislation for 82 years until the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1957. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2e1e6fa034128ce7ea1f9/1592277087607-D991K7AL9Y0MN5U9JFSW/FREDERICK+DOUGLASS.png Advocates - FREDERICK DOUGLASS (1889-1891) Frederick Douglass was the most famed African American abolitionist leader and orator of the 19th century. For years he was based in Rochester, New York but in 1872, his home burned down, which some suspected was caused by arson. Douglass and his family--his wife Anna and their five children-- moved to the Washington, D.C. area. He became directly involved in both national and local politics, publishing weekly newsletter, The New National Era that reported on Reconstruction, the Republican Party, and issues facing African Americans in the District. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2e1e6fa034128ce7ea1f9/1592343869377-S29E1OBKB3JWXD7YEC0S/4-+John+Francis+Cook.jpg Advocates - JOHN FRANCIS COOK (1833-1910) John Francis Cook was a prominent African American educator, civil rights activist, and member of the Washingtonian elite of the late 19th century. He was active in local politics, served as D.C.'s chief tax collector (1874 to 1884) and a Justice of the Peace. In 1868, Cook began to get involved in local Republican politics, and was elected to the Board of Aldermen in the second elections in which black residents could vote. He sought to uplift the black community of D.C and battle discriminatory laws and practices that oppressed local black families. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2e1e6fa034128ce7ea1f9/1592278180550-LAY7O56C1BZXX5FSUI01/Bowser.png Advocates - MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER (1972- ) Muriel Elizabeth Bowser was born into a family that had lived in Washington, DC for generations.

The District had deteriorated under the pressures of the Civil War to the point that Congress was considering toying with the idea of moving the seat of government to the Midwest. Shepherd, like Mayor Bowen, persuaded Congress to keep the seat of government in D.C. but he also urged that they form a territorial government and modernize the city. Shepherd, with no training in engineering, oversaw a chaotic public works project compounded by excessive budget overruns. Congress discovered the local government was in arrears by $13 million and had to declare bankruptcy. Shepherd endured embarrassing investigations and eventually left the city. He was considered part of the corruption scandals surrounding the Grant Administration. Even so, Shepherd’s investments in infrastructure laid the basis for a modern city, resulting in a real estate boom and the capital becoming a place of year-round residency. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2e1e6fa034128ce7ea1f9/1592277413294-PPLMFUVAAOPCEB9GQODR/William+Corcoran.png Characters2 - WILLIAM WILSON CORCORAN (1798-1888) (Copy) WILLIAM WILSON CORCORAN (1798-1888) William W.

In the early 1960s, he ran 85 picket lines against businesses, negotiated 60 agreements to hire black workers, helped secure over 4000 jobs for African Americans, demanded fair housing regulations, and launched a lawsuit that led to the desegregation of Washington, DC’s schools. He announced his candidacy for the District’s delegate to the US House of Representatives under the Statehood Party in 1971 but lost to Walter Fauntroy.

He became Washington, DC’s first non-voting delegate to Congress, a position he held for 20 years. Fauntroy used the changing political dynamics in the South to foster support for democracy in Washington. He developed a map that pinpointed congressional districts where the Black vote could be the margin of victory. And that’s where he would travel for what he called the ‘arithmetic of political power.’ Fauntroy played one of the key roles in moving the District toward home rule. It was work that he did quietly behind the scene. In 1972, Fauntroy landed one of his biggest victories — helping defeat Rep. John McMillan, the South Carolina Democrat who for years had oppressed the District. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2e1e6fa034128ce7ea1f9/1592344267105-02DX2KYHLE2S7HZ76TEU/3-+Marion+Barry.jpg Characters3 - MARION BARRY (1936-2014) (Copy) MARION BARRY (1936-2014) Son of a Mississippi sharecropper and domestic worker, his father died when Barry was four.

When Washington sent his first budget to Congress, Representative John McMillan responded by sending a truckload of watermelons to the mayor’s DC office. The insult was reflective of the conservative, racial hostility Washington would face in Congress, which retained veto power DC’s local government. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2e1e6fa034128ce7ea1f9/1592344578344-037YL3XVT5Q8FCZEFS2W/Lauch_Faircloth.jpg Characters3 - SENATOR DUNCAN MCLAUGHLIN “LAUCH” FAIRCLOTH (1928- ) (Copy) SENATOR DUNCAN MCLAUGHLIN “LAUCH” FAIRCLOTH (1928- ) Duncan McLauchlin "Lauch" Faircloth is an American politician who served one term (1993-1999) as a Republican U.S. Senator from North Carolina.
