George Henry White (December 18, 1852 – December 28, 1918)

was an American attorney and politician, elected as a Republican U.S. Congressman from North Carolina's 2nd congressional district between 1897 and 1901. He later became a banker in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and in Whitesboro, New Jersey, an African-American community he co-founded. White is the last African-American Congressman during the beginning of the Jim Crow era and the only African American to serve in Congress during his tenure.

In North Carolina, "fusion politics" between the Populist and Republican parties led to a brief period of renewed Republican and African-American political success in elections from 1894 to 1900, when White was elected to Congress for two terms after serving in the state legislature. After the Democratic-dominated state legislature passed a suffrage amendment that disenfranchised blacks in the state, White did not seek a third term. He moved permanently to Washington, D.C., where he had a law practice and became a banker, moving again to Philadelphia in 1906.

After White left office, no other African American served in Congress until 1929. No African American was elected to Congress again from a former Confederate state until Barbara Jordan's election in 1972. No African American was elected to Congress from North Carolina until 1992.

The group was originally called the Gay Northeasterners and their husbands the Gay Lords. Some time around the end of the 1970’s they dropped the ‘Gay’ and just go by the Northeasterners and the Lords.

The group was founded by Agatha Scott Davis the wife of Gen. Benjamin O. Davis, first black man to become a general in the US Air Force.



She created the group after traveling around the Northeast and meeting many black debutantes from different cities. The group was created for them to socialize and keep in touch. Chapters were established around the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Upper Midwest.

My nikka Primo

Chicago's Quintin E. Primo III

Quintin E. Primo III is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Capri Investments and one of the wealthiest black men in America. Quintin is a graduate of Indiana University and Harvard Business School.

Capri Investment Group

His company has a strategy that includes making investments in black and brown communities both in the U.S., Africa, India, and Middle East.

From what I hear, he's lowkey a billionaire but the extent of his assets are underreported. His reported net worth is $300 million.

Here is a spotlight that Black Enterprise has done on his work:




Capri is responsible for purchasing and redeveloping Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza.

His wife is Diane Primo, CEO of IntraLink Global, a digital integrated communications company. Diane is a graduate of Smith College and Harvard Business School.

She's also chairman of the Primo Center for Women and Children, a shelter for abused, battered and homeless women and their children in the west side "K" town neighborhood of Chicago.


Quintin's father was Quintin Ebenezer Primor, Jr. - The Suffragan Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago, for whom the center is named after.

I believe Quintin was the first black bishop of the Episcopal Church in Chicago.


The Primo's are known for an annual Gala - "The Red Hot Gala", that they host at their North Shore mansion in Lake Forest, to benefit their west side Women's Center.

Tanners.

Maudelle Tanner Brown Bousfield

Maudelle Tanner Brown was born June 1, 1885, in St. Louis to Charles Brown, a longtime St. Louis public school teacher and principal. Her mother, Arrena Isabella Tanner, was also an educator, her uncle Benjamin Tanner was a bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and her first cousin Henry Tanner was a noted painter.

D.C.’s Newest Park Opens In NoMa, Honoring Alethia Tanner
February 17, 2021

In her early years, Alethia Browning Tanner sold vegetables in a produce stall near President’s Square – now known as Lafayette Square – in Northwest.

According to the D.C. Genealogy Research, Resources, and Records, Tanner bought her freedom in 1810 and later purchased several relatives’ release.

She was the first woman on the Roll of Members of the Union Bethel AME Church (now Metropolitan AME Church on M Street), and Turner owned land and a store at 14th and H Streets, which she left to her nephews – one of whom later sold the property for $100,000.

Named in her honor, the Alethia Tanner Park is located at 227 Harry Thomas Way in Northeast.

The park sits near the corner of Harry Thomas Way and Q Street and is accessible by foot or bike via the Metropolitan Branch Trail, just north of the Florida Avenue entrances.

“The first Council legislative meeting of Black History Month, the Council took a second and final vote on naming the new park for Alethia Tanner, an amazing woman who is more than worthy of this long-delayed recognition,” Ward 5 Councilman Kenyan McDuffie said in 2020 ahead of the park’s naming ceremony.

“[Her upbringing] itself would be a remarkable legacy, but Ms. Tanner was also active in founding and supporting many educational, religious, and civic institutions,” McDuffie remarked. “She contributed funds to start the first school for free Black children in Washington, the Bell School. Feeling unwelcome at her predominately segregated church, she & other church members founded the Israel Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church. When the church fell on hard times and was sold at auction by creditors, she and her family stepped in and repurchased the church.”

Born in 1781 on a plantation owned by Tobias and Mary Belt in Prince George’s County, Md., Tanner had two sisters, Sophia Bell and Laurena Cook, historians noted.

“Upon the death of Mary Pratt (Tobias had predeceased his wife) in 1795, the plantation, known as Chelsea Plantation, was inherited by their daughter Rachel Belt Pratt,” historians wrote.

“Mary Belt’s will stipulated that Laurena be sent to live with a sibling of Rachel Pratt’s while Sophia and Alethia were to stay at the Chelsea Plantation.”

Tanner sold vegetables at the well-known market just north of the White House in Presidents Park. It is possible – and probable – she met Thomas Jefferson there as he was known to frequent the vegetable markets there along with other prominent early Washingtonians, according to historians at attacksadams.com.

“There are also White House records suggesting she worked for Thomas Jefferson in some capacity, likely doing various housework tasks,” the researchers determined.

Reportedly, Tanner saved enough money to purchase her freedom in 1810. “The total amount, thought to have been paid in installments, was $1,400. In 1810, $1,400 was a significant amount; about the equivalent of three years’ earnings for an average skilled tradesperson,” attucksadams.com researchers surmised.

“Self-emancipation was not an option for all enslaved peoples, but both Alethia and her sister Sophia were able to accomplish this, almost entirely through selling vegetables at the market,” the researchers continued.

“Alethia Tanner moved to D.C. and became one of a significant and growing number of free Black people in the District. In 1800, 793 free Black people were living in D.C.

“By 1810, there were 2,549, and by 1860, 11,131 free Black people lived in D.C., more than the number of enslaved peoples.”

Historians wrote that beginning at about 15 years after securing her manumission, Alethia Tanner worked to purchase the freedom of more than 20 of her relatives and neighbors, mostly the family of her older sister Laurana including Laurana herself, her children, and her grandchildren.

All in all, Tanner would have paid the Pratt family well over $5,000. All accomplished with proceeds from her own vegetable market business, they concluded.

“Alethia Tanner, it’s an amazing story of resilience, hard work, and perseverance,” D.C. Department of Parks and Recreation Director Delano Hunter said at the park’s dedication.

“I just learned about this history through this, so it shows how when you name a park, you really educate people on the historical significance


Below is the testimony from one of her descendants when the DC city council had hearings about naming the park.

Astronauts have killer ambition.

The lady that Dr. Robert Satcher is giving communion to in the above picture is her...

^^^^^Cool Fact: This lady in yellow was a priest at my church and taught me how to waltz when I was an escort for a deb ball. Her family owned both a funeral home and currently one of the 12 last existing black owned banks in the United States.^^^^^^^^^

The establishment of business relationships will also allow African investors to invest directly into the African American community. We see this happening now here in Chicago. Illinois Service Federal was at risk of closing during the 2008 recession. Ghanaian investors were able to inject capital to keep it from closing so that it can continue to operate as a black owned bank servicing the south side of Chicago so that we don't have to be reliant on the racist policies of white banking institutions. This is personal for me because I'm very close to the Prudeaux-Williams family that founded ISF along with Unity Mutual Life Insurance and Unity Funeral Home. My cousin sat on the board of ISF until their takeover. We've all had accounts at ISF for years and Unity is the funeral home that does all of our family's funerals going all the way back to the 1940's. So I've personally seen how this could work. They are also an example of a Boule family that built businesses for us and only us and have operated those businesses independent of any white influence.

Her son - Norman J. Williams

Norman J. Williams retired as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Illinois-Service Federal Savings and Loan Association of Chicago, a mutual, FDIC insured depository institution chartered in 1934. He was elected Chairman of the Board in 1996. Since 2002, he has served as both Chairman of the Board and CEO.

He was elected to the Board of Directors in 1976 and has served as Treasurer, a member of the executive, loan, asset liability, and audit committees.

He was past Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Illinois League of Financial Institutions, a statewide trade association serving the state’s savings and community banking institutions headquartered in Springfield, Illinois. He has served as a member of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) Minority Depository Institutions Advisory Committee. He previously served as a member on the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) Minority Depository Institutions Advisory Committee.

He has served as a member of the Board of Directors of the American Bankers Association (ABA), headquartered in Washington, DC and on the ABA Government Relations Council Administrative Committee.

He holds memberships in the Union League Club of Chicago, the Bankers Club, and the Executives Club.

Mr. Williams is Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Chicago Theological Seminary. He is the Assistant Moderator of the General Synod of the United Church of Christ. He is a member of the Church of the Good Shepherd, Congregational, United Church of Christ. He has held local church positions of Chairman of the Diaconate, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and Treasurer.

He lives in Chicago’s South Shore community with his wife Lynda, an educator and leadership coach and consultant to school administrators and principals. She was a former administrator in both public and charter school organizations.

He is a graduate of Amherst College in Amherst, Massachusetts, and Worsham College of Mortuary Science, in Wheeling, Illinois, where he served as an instructor. He continues to own and operate Unity Funeral Parlors, Inc., founded by his family in 1937.

Norman as well as his father (deceased), are members of the Chicago Boule.

Their funeral home does the funerals of all the black elites in the city. They did the funeral of John H. Johnson.

Starting in 1883, Warren also served as director of choral singing and director of the school band.[3]

As a young educated man in the period after the Reconstruction era, Logan pushed against the social restraints imposed by white supremacists in the South. For instance, he and a group of friends tried to use their first-class train tickets between Montgomery and Selma, Alabama. They were ordered to the Jim Crow car and ejected when they hesitated to move.[4] Logan became the first treasurer of Tuskegee Institute in 1882, and is described as the closest confidante of the institute's head, Booker T. Washington. He later served as vice president and was a member of the board of trustees at Tuskegee.

Her mother was college-educated and involved in the suffrage and health care movements. Her father was treasurer and trustee of Tuskegee Institute and the first staff member selected by Booker T. Washington. Logan's primary school education was conducted at Tuskegee's Laboratory, the Children's house. After graduating with honors from Tuskegee High School, she attended Atlanta University and graduated as valedictorian of her class in 1927. She then moved to New York and attended Columbia University, where she earned her M.S. degree in psychology. She worked for the YWCA in Connecticut before opting for a career in medicine.[1] Logan was the first person to receive a four-year $10,000 Walter Gray Crump Scholarship[2] that was exclusively for aiding African-American medical students attend New York Medical College. She graduated in 1933.[3] She interned and did her residency in surgery at the Harlem Hospital in New York.[4][5]




Medical career
Logan became an associate surgeon at Harlem Hospital, where she spent the majority of her medical career. She was also a visiting surgeon at Sydenham Hospital and maintained a private practice. In 1943, she became the first woman to perform open heart surgery in the ninth operation of its kind.[4][7] She developed her specialty in children's heart surgery.[5] She also worked to develop antibiotics, including Aureomycin.[8] Logan and a team of physicians treated 25 lymphogranuloma venereum patients with Aureomycin and gained positive results.[9] Aureomycin was shown to reduce gland size of eight Buboes patients after four days of treatment.[9] She published her results in the Archives of Surgery and Journal of American Medical Surgery. Logan also published her results on Puromycin, tri-ethylene melamine in the A.M.A Archives of Internal Medicine and Acta-Unio Internationalis Contra Cancrum journals respectively. In 1951, Logan was elected a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and was the first African-American woman to become a member of this group.[5] During the 1960s, she researched the early detection and treatment of breast cancer. She developed X-ray processes that could more accurately detect differences in tissue density, allowing tumors to be discovered earlier. She was published in a number of medical journals and was one of the first black women to be elected to the American College of Surgeons.[3]


Logan was also an accomplished classical pianist. She retired in 1970 and later served on the New York State Workmen's Compensation Board. She died of lung cancer at Mount Sinai Hospital on January 13, 1977.[3]

@IllmaticDelta I was actually going to do the family of Adele Logan Alexander a while ago. I was going to start off with an interview that she did with Charlie Rose that I seen years ago (side note: check out the Charlie Rose interview archives. He has interviewed a lot of members of these families over the years). Anyway, I couldn’t find a way to hyperlink Adele’s interview and eventually decided I would come back to it.

But good stuff!

Here is the link to her interview discussing the book she authored about her family.
