Big name in politics once upon a time ...

 

Edward Brooke, first elected US black senator, dies at 95

 

 

Edward Brooke, the first black senator to be popularly elected in the US, has died aged 95, Republican Party officials say.

 

Mr Brooke was elected to Congress in 1966 by voters in Massachusetts at a time of widespread racial unrest.

 

Mr Brooke built a reputation as a Republican liberal during his time in the Senate. He opposed Republican President Richard Nixon and was the first Republican senator to publicly call for Mr Nixon's resignation after the Watergate scandal.

 

He was instrumental in passing the Fair Housing Act of 1968, which prohibited racial and religious discrimination.

 

Mr Brooke was re-elected in 1972 by a huge margin but by the time he ran for a third term, he was involved in a divorce which attracted national attention and raised questions about a false financial statement he had made regarding a $49,000 loan.
