– Herbert “Bertie” Bowman, the longest-serving African-American congressional staffer in history who worked on Capitol Hill for more than 60 years, died Wednesday, according to a spokesperson for the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. He was 92. According to his autobiography “Step by Step,” at 13, Bowman imagined Washington, DC could offer him a different path than his South Carolina family farm. He “fantasized” about a life “up the road,” where he could be lost in a bustling city.
and President Timothy Anderson told CNN, Bowman was “like a second father to him.” “I am the CEO of this organization today, in large part because of Bertie as a mentor,” Anderson said. He attributed Bertie’s success to a motto he often shared: “Work hard, be true to yourself, take responsibility, have a positive outlook and then expect the best from people.” Anderson said that just before his death, Bowman asked for his funeral procession to pass the headquarters named after him.
