Harris Wofford
Harris Llewellyn Wofford, Jr. (born April 9, 1926) is an American attorney and Democratic Party politician who represented Pennsylvania in the United States Senate from 1991 to 1995. A noted advocate of national service and volunteering, Wofford was also the fifth president of Bryn Mawr College from 1970 to 1978, served as Chairman of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party in 1986, as Pennsylvania Secretary of Labor and Industry in the cabinet of Governor Robert P. Casey from 1987 to 1991 and was a surrogate for Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign. He introduced Obama in Philadelphia at the National Constitution Center before Obama's speech on race in America, ''A More Perfect Union''.
==Early life==
Wofford was born in 1926 in New York City, the son of Estelle Allison (Gardner) and Harris Llewellyn Wofford.〔http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9B0DE4DA1539EF3ABC4F53DFB1668389639EDE〕 He was born to a wealthy and prominent Southern family. At age 11 he accompanied his widowed Grandmother on a six-month world tour. They spent Christmas Eve in Bethlehem, visited Shanghai shortly after the Imperial Japanese Army captured it, spent time in India where Wofford became "fascinated" by Mahatma Gandhi and visited Rome, where they saw Benito Mussolini announce Italy's withdrawal from the League of Nations and a subsequent fascist parade.〔 While attending Scarsdale High School, he was inspired by Clarence Streit's plea for a world government to found the Student Federalists. By the time he was 18, the organisation had grown so large that ''Newsweek'' predicted he would become President.〔
He served in the United States Army Air Forces during the Second World War〔 and is a 1948 graduate of the University of Chicago.〔 After eight months on a fellowship in India, conducting a study of the recently assassinated Gandhi, he and his wife Clare returned to America. He subsequently enrolled at Howard Law School, the first white male student to do so.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wofford profile )〕 After two years, he concluded the final year of his studies at Yale Law School, where he received his second law degree in June 1954.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Experiences of Civil Rights Lawyers in the 1950s and 1960s )〕 He began his public service career as a legal assistant for Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh on the United States Commission on Civil Rights, serving from 1957 to 1959. In 1959, he became a law professor at University of Notre Dame. He was an early supporter of the Civil Rights movement in the South in the 1950s, accompanying Indian activist Ram Manohar Lohia on a tour of the South in 1951〔 and becoming a friend and unofficial advisor to Martin Luther King, Jr.〔
Wofford was raised an Episcopalian, and converted to Catholicism in the 1980s.〔http://articles.philly.com/1991-05-14/news/25795444_1_harris-wofford-abortion-debate-plane-accident〕
