| Abstract | Politician Clarence Bernard Williamson was born on June 1, 1930 in Chicago, Illinois. Williamson graduated from St. Elizabeth High School and enrolled at Roosevelt University. Williamson dabbled in local politics, serving as a precinct captain for Alderman Robert Miller's 6th Ward. In 1966, Williamson found employment as an underwriter for New York Life Insurance. After a few years, Williamson returned to college, earning an advanced degree in corrections while working for the Cook County Department of Probation. In 1980, Williamson was appointed to the Illinois House of Representatives, filling a vacancy left by Eugene Barnes after his appointment to the Chicago Transit Authority. Williamson decided to run for another term, but was defeated. Williamson continued to work in the insurance field, acting as President of Vital Associates Incorporated, an insurance firm. Williamson was a member of several organizations, including Operation PUSH, the American Correctional Association and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. |
