With President Obama in town, here's a primer on the Massachusetts elected officials who fought for civil rights during the past 200 years.

Interestingly, many either rose to prominence or were stifled in their ascent due to issues relating to race, segregation and slavery. So, you can see, Massachusetts has at times been a leader in the fight against slavery and in the support of civil rights for African Americans. It almost makes you forget about all that other stuff we did.
