  • Katie Hall Gary, Lake County April 3, 1938 – February 20, 2012
    Katie Hall Gary, Lake County April 3, 1938 – February 20, 2012 On April 3, 1938, Katie Hall was born in Mississippi. She received a bachelor’s degree from Mississippi Valley State University and a master’s degree from Indiana University in Bloomington in 1968. She then taught social studies in Gary, Indiana. Hall was elected to the Indiana state house of representatives in 1974. She then was elected to the state senate, where she served from 1976 until 1982. In September of 1982, the Indiana Representative for the 1st U.S. District died while running for re-election. After a contentious process, she became the Democratic nominee for the November election and then became the first African-American woman from Indiana to serve in the U.S. Congress after winning the general election. Among her chief accomplishments was introducing a bill to make Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday a national holiday. Since King’s assassination in 1968, similar measures had been introduced, but all had failed. The primary argument against these bills was the large cost to the federal government because the previous bills had designated a fixed date of King’s January 15th birthday. In July 1983, she introduced a bill that designated the third Monday in January to prevent government offices from having to open twice in one week and thereby saving money. On August 2, 1983, the bill passed the House and on November 2, 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed it into law. During her 1984 bid for re–election, Hall lost the Democratic nomination to Pete Visclosky during the May Primary.
