| Abstract | Banking executive Sidney Lanier Rushing was born August 20, 1930, in Carthage, Mississippi. After high school, he earned his B.S. in Political Science from Mississippi Valley State University and his M.Ed. degree from Southern University. He taught social studies in the Gulfport Mississippi City Schools. In 1972, Rushing worked for the Department of Housing and Urban Development. In 1974, he was hired by Gulfport's Hancock Bank, becoming its first African American loan officer and later vice president. Rushing served on the boards of the Mississippi Resource Development Corporation, the PTA, and St. Marks United Methodist Church. He was appointed to the Mississippi Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges and served as president of the Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning. Rushing and other Gulfport activists formed the John C. Robinson Brown Condor Association to honor Robinson, a Gulfport native and aviation pioneer. |
