Clarence W. Blount (1921 – 2003) was an American politician who was the first African American to be the majority leader of the Maryland State Senate.
==Background==
Clarence Blount was born to Lottie and Charles Johnson Blount Sr., in South Creek, North Carolina. His father worked on a tobacco plantation. His mother died when he was five years old. The Blount family was so poor that they could not afford to buy their children shoes. It was only after the family moved to Baltimore that Clarence Blount was able to begin school at the age of 10. He attended Baltimore City public schools and graduated from Douglass High School and then decided to go to college. One month after Blount entered Morgan State College, he was drafted into the then segregated United States Army to fight in World War II. He served with distinction in Italy as a member of the all-black Buffalo Division of the 92nd Infantry. The courage and dedication to duty that he demonstrated while removing mines from a river passage earned him a battlefield commission. After fighting for his country against both the enemy and the barriers of Jim Crow, Blount returned to Morgan State in 1946 and graduated in 1950 with a B.A. in political science. Blount would later attend The Johns Hopkins University, earning a M.L.A. in 1965. Clarence Blount was a former principal, Dunbar High School, Baltimore, former executive assistant to president, Community College of Baltimore and a member of the Democratic National Committee. He was Delegate to the Democratic Party National Convention in 1988, 1992, 1996 and2000. His list of civic commitments is impressive as well: Member, Maryland Democratic State Central Committee; Baltimore City Democratic Central Committee, Member, Academy of Political and Social Science; Baltimore Urban League; National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP); Alpha Phi Alpha; Gamma Boule. Board of Trustees, Sinai Hospital; Western Maryland College. He was a recipient of the First Citizen Award from the Maryland Senate in 1994 and the Annual Achievement Award from the Maryland Black Caucus Foundation in 2003.
