taken by Robert W. Cottrol and published in Impact Magazine
where he worked as Editor and Photojournalist. Top Photo: Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., "Harlem" Congressman. As Chairman of the House, Health, Education and Welfare Committee (it has since been divided) he held the highest seniority and the most influential position in Congress of any black in the history of this country. As Chairman of this committee, he engineered President Lyndon B. Johnson's "Great Society" legislation to passage. Although much maligned, he engineered the passage of more bills than did any other committee Chairman in the history of the U.S. Congress. Bottom Photos: (left to right) Rev. Martin Luther King, civil rights legend and hero; A.
