ROBERT BROWN ELLIOTT
Robert Brown Elliott w*s born
on August 11, 1842, in Boston, Mass.
the son of Watt Indian immigrants.
Elliott a scholar who was edu
cated •( an academy tn London
and at Eton, the famous training
school of the Xnglish elite. Later
ha ctuoted law under a London
barrister After returning to the
United Fttetes, he decided to settle
In South Carolina where colored
client* vastly exceeded those in
New lngland. He was a brilliant
lawyer and reputed to be a remark
able linguist and Pie owner of one
of ttie finest taw libraries in the
State es South Carolina.
Os the 93 Negroes who served In
Congress during the Reconstruction
period, Elliott wee considered to be
the most brilliant and able. He was
a very black man with pronounced
Negro features with such purity of
speech that many historian* rank
him above Frederick Douglass as
an orator.
In 1868, at tea age of 96. Elliott
was elected to the South Carolina
legislative assembly. Two years lat
er he was elected to Congress. It
la said that he felt that the House
of Representatives did not offer
enough of a challenge. Thus, al
though he waa twice elected, he re
signed both times after serving part
of each term to return to South
Carolina where he had become a
political power.
During his last term In Congress
Elliott supported Sumner’s civil
rights bill with great eloquence on
the House floor. On January 5, 1874.
Alexander Stephens, former vice
president of the Confederacy, at
tacked the civil rights bill. When
ho finished. Elliott took the floor
and held it until adjournment
thereby earning the right to con
tinue the next day. As a result,
word spread that a Negro would
answer the former vice-president
of the Confederacy. The follow in e
n.anting the House waa packed.
People came early to get scats and
Senator* came over from file Sen
ate chamber. Author Lerone Ben
nett writes: “The stage was set
when Stephens, elderly and ailing,
w*a brought into the chamber in
his chair. All eyea turned to Elliott
He was an Impressive man. deep

bundant hair worn in the African

history of the Negro In America.

and Civil Wars; they had been

“Negroes," he continued, “are

in the ft* Id* of Boas. The last vee

Having gained this, we may repeat
the prayer of Ruth: "Entreat me not
