Yes, the Black Republican Congressman was from Connecticut or Rhode Island, and I would recognize his name instantly, but I can't recall it at this time.

You're thinking of Gary Franks of Connecticut. He served from 1991-97. He was largely ignored by the media, too, because he was a Black Republican.

Please visit my homepage where I have photos of every single Republican African-American Member of Congress since the 19th Century, along with other prominent Black Republicans.
