The @MSGOP takes a moment to recognize & honor John R. Lynch. Born into slavery in 1847, Lynch rose to become one of the most influential Republican leaders of the Reconstruction era.

At just 25 years old, he was elected Speaker of the Mississippi House of Representatives, becoming the first African American to hold that position. He later served multiple terms in the United States House of Representatives and, in 1884, became the first African American to serve as Temporary Chairman of a Republican National Convention, where he delivered the convention’s keynote address.

Lynch also served as a Major in the United States Army during the Spanish–American War. He later became an attorney and author, publishing The Facts of Reconstruction in 1913. #BlackHistoryMonth

The @MSGOP takes a moment to recognize & honor Donald Gammage. A Forest, Mississippi native, Gammage dedicated 37 years to law enforcement, including 30 years with the Olive Branch Police Department.

Appointed Chief of Police in 2009, he became the longest-serving police chief in DeSoto County history. During his 13 years as chief, the department earned national accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, a distinction held by only a small number of agencies in Mississippi. He also served as President of the Mississippi Association of Chiefs of Police and led Olive Branch Police through significant growth as the city expanded.

After retiring in 2022, Gammage continued his commitment to public service and now serves as Ward 3 Republican Alderman in Olive Branch. #BlackHistoryMonth

The @MSGOP takes a moment to recognize & honor @BoydKRutherford. Rutherford grew up in a Democrat household but became a Republican in his late thirties, saying that he was fed up with the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal & believng that the Democratic Party saw African-Americans as "political and social victims". Rutherford served in the Bush administration & later served as the ninth lieutenant governor of Maryland. #BlackHistoryMonth

The @MSGOP takes a moment to recognize & honor Booker T. Washington. Born a slave in southwest Virginia, April 5th 1856. Unknown to most people today is this civil rights leader was a staunch Republican. He detested the Democratic Party's racist policy agenda.

After years working as a miner, Washington studied at Hampton Institute & Wayland Seminary. He then taught at Hampton. In 1881, that school's president recommended him for principal of the Tuskegee Institute, being established in Alabama to prepare African-Americans for teaching careers. With the support of Republican philanthropists, notably Julius Rosenwald, Tuskegee thrived & became a university.

In 1895, a former Republican Governor of Georgia invited him to address the Cotton States & International Exposition. His Atlanta Compromise speech, at the height of the lynching mania, called on Democrats to ease their repression in return for Blacks focusing on practical education & upward mobility. As a southerner, Washington recognized the futility of challenging the white supremacist Democrats, that struggling for political rights was not only pointless, but could be suicidal.

President William McKinley looked to Booker T. Washington for advice on federal appointments in the South. President Theodore Roosevelt made history by inviting him to dinner at the White House. President William Howard Taft also met with him to discuss social issues. #BlackHistoryMonth

The @MSGOP takes a moment to recognize & honor Hiram Revels. Hiram Rhodes Revels was a trailblazing figure in American history, marking significant milestones in the fight for equality & representation. Elected by the Mississippi legislature to the United States Senate as a Republican during the Reconstruction era, he was the first African American to serve in either house of the U.S. Congress.

In 1868, Revels became a delegate to the Mississippi State Republican Convention, where he played a pivotal role in advocating for the rights of freedmen & ensuring their participation in the political process. Also that year he gained his first elected position, as alderman for the town of Natchez. The next year he won election to the state senate, as one of 35 African Americans elected to the Mississippi state legislature that year.

Hiram was appointed as the first President of Alcorn State University & later took a leave of absence from @AlcornStateU to serve as Secretary of State of Mississippi. @MississippiSOS

During his 35 years in the Army, he served two tours in Vietnam, was stationed in West Germany & South Korea, & acted as President Ronald Reagan's Deputy National Security Advisor in 1987 then National Security Advisor from 1988 until 1989. In 1989 he was promoted to the rank of general, & was appointed by President George H.W. Bush to the position of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In the four years Powell served in that capacity, he oversaw 28 crises, including Operation Desert Storm in 1991.

After his retirement in 1993, he founded America's Promise, an organization which helps at-risk children. He was nominated for Secretary of State by President George W. Bush on December 16, 2000. He was the first African-American to hold the office. #BlackHistoryMonth

In September 2020, he was among the final 20 additions to President Donald Trump's updated list of his potential Supreme Court nominees. Cameron has launched a 2026 bid for U.S. Senate to fill Mitch McConnell's seat.
