More on Willie Brown
Description from Wikipedia:
Willie Lewis Brown, Jr. (born March 20, 1934) served over thirty years in the California State Assembly, fifteen years as its Speaker, and afterwards as the only African-American mayor of San Francisco. Under current California term limit law, no Speaker of the California State Assembly will ever have a longer tenure than Brown's record 15 years. Brown is a member of the Democratic Party. The San Francisco Chronicle called Brown “one of San Francisco’s most notable mayors” that had “celebrity beyond the city’s boundaries.”
Brown was born in Mineola, Texas and attended a segregated high school. He moved to San Francisco in 1951, attending San Francisco State, graduating in 1955 with a degree in political science. Brown earned a J.D. from University of California, Hastings College of the Law in 1958. He spent several years in private practice before gaining election in his second attempt to the California Assembly in 1964. Brown became the Democrats' whip in 1969 and Speaker in 1980. He was known for his ability to manage people and maintain party discipline. According to The New York Times, Brown became one of the country's most powerful state legislators. Brown maintained control of the majority Republican Assembly in 1994 and 1995 by gaining the vote of several Republicans.
