A Chicago alderman (1933–39), who became a Democrat, he served in Congress (1943–70). Although he opposed the poll tax and worked for fair employment practices, he was more of a party loyalist than civil rights activist, supporting Richard Daley over a reform mayor in 1955, and delivering Chicago's black vote to President Kennedy in 1960. |
