| Abstract | State representative Charles Gay Morrow III was born on July 21, 1956 in Chicago, Illinois. Morrow attended De La Salle High School and was an honor student despite suffering from a speech impediment. In 1974, he entered the Illinois Institute of Technology as one of only sixty-seven African American students. Upon graduation, Peoples Gas and the Coca-Cola Company hired Morrow where he worked for eighteen years. Morrow then joined the Metropolitan Sanitary District of Chicago, making him a viable political candidate. Morrow was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives in 1986 from the 26th District. Since then, Morrow acted as Chairman of the Appropriations-Public Safety Committee, Co-Chair of the Legislative Printing Unit and the Vice-Chairman of the Public Utilities Committee. On 1993, Charles Morrow married Sherri Harris. Morrow was also a participant in the National Conference of Black Legislators. |
