Oscar Stanton De Priest (March 9, 1871 – May 12, 1951) was an alderman and civil rights activist from Chicago who was the first black Republican to be elected to Congress in the 1900s. He was very vocal in his fight for racial equality, even speaking in the South despite death threats by violent Democrats.
