Blanche Kelso Bruse

Blanche Kelso Bruse

On this date, Blanche K. Bruce was born in 1841. He was the first black senator from Mississippi during the Reconstruction era.

From Prince Edward County, Va., the son of a slave mother and white planter father, Blanche Kelso Bruce was well educated as a youth. After the American Civil War, he moved to Mississippi, where in 1869 he became a supervisor of elections. By 1870 he was an emerging figure in state politics.

After serving as sergeant at arms in the state senate, he held the posts of county assessor, sheriff, and member of the Board of Levee Commissioners of the Mississippi River. Through these positions he amassed enough wealth to purchase a plantation in Floreyville, Miss. In 1874 Mississippi's Republican-dominated state legislature elected Bruce, a Republican, to a seat in the U.S.
