Birth Of Barbara Jordan
Barbara Charline Jordan was born on February 21, 1936, in Houston, Texas.
The youngest of three children, much of Jordan’s childhood was spent at church, where her mother was a teacher and her father a Baptist preacher. While she was in high school, Jordon attended a speech by Edith S. Sampson (a lawyer, judge, and the first black US delegate to the UN) that inspired her to become a lawyer.
Jordan graduated from high school with honors in 1952. She went on to attend Texas Southern University where she majored in political science and history. As a student there, Jordan was a champion national debater, winning over students from Yale and Brown and tying those from Harvard. She went on to graduate magna cum laude before attending the Boston University School of Law.
After graduating in 1959, Jordan taught political science at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama for a year. She then returned to Houston, passed the bar, and began practicing law. She ran for the Texas House of Representatives in 1962 and 1964 but lost both those races. Then in 1966, she became the first African-American woman elected to the Texas legislature. Jordan quickly gained acceptance from her 30 white male colleagues by sponsoring bills for Texas’ first minimum wage laws and antidiscrimination in business contracts. During her six years there, Jordan sponsored or co-sponsored about 70 bills.
By 1972, Jordan was the highest-ranking member of the Texas legislature and was the first African American woman to serve as president pro tempore of the state senate. She also served as acting governor of Texas for one day in 1972. That same year, Jordan broke new ground when she was elected to the US Congress – the first African-American woman to serve a southern state. She won by a landslide, capturing 81% of the vote. Jordan served for three terms, promoting civil rights for women and minorities. Lyndon B. Johnson was a significant supporter and helped her to get a position on the House Judiciary Committee.
