This portrait honors William Levi Dawson’s 1955–1970 chairmanship of the Committee on Government Operations. Dawson preferred to stay out of the limelight and work within institutional pathways to effect civil rights change. Dawson was the first African American to chair a House standing committee, the Committee on Expenditures in Executive Departments, from 1949–1952.
Oil on canvas, Robert B. Williams, 1968, Collection of U.S. House of Representatives
