The 85th Congress (1957–1959) was the first Congress since Reconstruction with four black lawmakers serving simultaneously. Charles Diggs, Jr., of Michigan, William Dawson of Illinois, Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., of New York, and Robert Nix, Sr., of Pennsylvania were among an expanding group African-American Democrats representing northern, urban constituencies.
