Wasn't he the head of the Congressional Black Caucus at one time?
I remember seeing him in 1994 (on C-SPAM i think) decrying with a hispanic member of Congress (Jose Torres?) about the defunding of the CBC by the Congress.
He referred to it as 'ethnic cleansing."
I kid you not. This was one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen on television.

I think you are right. He had a regular name back then, but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was.
