History & LegacyOne of the most prominent African Americans in the United States before and during the Civil War,John Mercer Langston was one of the first African Americans to hold elective office in the United States(he became Brownhelm, Ohio, township clerk in 1855), he helped establish Howard University’s schoolof law, and he topped off his long illustrious political career by becoming the first black man torepresent Virginia in the U.S. House of Representatives.Born the youngest of four children as a free black in Louisa County, Virginia on December 14, 1829,Langston gained distinction as an abolitionist, politician, and attorney. Despite the prominence of hisslaveowner father, Ralph Quarles, Langston took his surname from his mother, Lucy Langston, anemancipated slave of Indian and black ancestry. At fourteen, Langston began his studies at the Preparatory Department at Oberlin College. Known forits radicalism and abolitionist politics, Oberlin was the first college in the United States to admit blackand white students. Langston completed his studies in 1849, becoming the fifth African American maleto graduate from Oberlin’s Collegiate Department. Langston received a B.A. in 1849 and an M.A. intheology in 1852 from Oberlin. Langston wanted to become a lawyer because it was a profession onlythree black men in the nation had officially achieved nationwide in the early 1850s.In 1854, Langston married Caroline Matilda Wall, who also attended Oberlin College. From NorthCarolina, she was the daughter of an enslaved mother and Colonel Stephen Wall, a wealthy whiteplanter who freed his mixed-race daughters Sara and Caroline, and sent them to Ohio to be raised in anaffluent Quaker household and educated. An intellectual partner of Langston, Caroline had fivechildren with him, one of whom died in childhood. In 1855, Langston was elected town clerk of Brownhelm Township in Ohio, becoming the first blackelected official in the state. In addition to his law practice and activities as town clerk, Langston and hisbrothers, Gideon and Charles, participated in the Underground Railroad. John Mercer Langston caughtthe attention of Frederick Douglass, who encouraged him to deliver antislavery speeches. During the Civil War, Langston recruited black volunteers for the Massachusetts 54th InfantryRegiment, officially the country’s first African American military unit. In 1867, Langston served asInspector General of the Freedmen's Bureau, touring the postwar South and encouraging freedmen toseek educational opportunities. He regularly spoke out against segregated facilities, includingchurches. For the first two decades of the postwar era, Langston held prominent political andeducational appointments.In 1868, Langston moved to Washington, D.C. to help establish the nation’s first black law school atHoward University. He became its first dean and served briefly as acting president of Howard in 1872. President Ulysses S. Grant appointed Langston as a member of the Board of Health of the District ofColumbia, and he was elected its Secretary in 1875. In 1877, President Rutherford B. Hayes appointedLangston U.S. Minister to Haiti. He returned to the U.S. in 1885 and became president of Virginia Normaland Collegiate Institute (now Virginia State University).In 1888, John Mercer Langston ran for a seat in Congress as an Independent against a whiteDemocratic opponent. The election results were contested for 18 months. Langston was finallydeclared the winner and served the six remaining months of his term. Langston lost his reelection bidin 1890. Partly because of his prominence, the Oklahoma Territory town of Langston, and the collegecreated in the town, Langston University, were named after him. After a lifetime of “firsts” andnumerous accomplishments, John Mercer Langston died in Washington, D.C. on November 15, 1897 atthe age of 67.
