He was elected to the state senate in 1868, and was the first African American to serve in the chamber.[1] He represented Bullock County and served for nine years.[2][3] He served as a Republican, and had stated that "he could as well be an infidel as to be anything else than a Republican".[4] He was a Union League organizer.[5]
He was born to a white father and a mother who had been a slave.[3]
In 1872, he and other Alabama state senators were photographed on the capitol steps. The photograph is held by the Alabama Department of Archives and History.[6]
