Attorney General of Massachusetts' signature
Stamped signature: "Edward W. Brooke" in blue ink. 4¼x1½
clipping affixed to 8½x11 sheet. Edward W. Brooke III (1919-2015) was
Attorney General of Massachusetts for two terms (1963-1967) before being elected
to two terms in the US Senate (1967-1979). Brooke, the first African American
to serve in the US Senate since Reconstruction, is also the last
Republican elected to that office from Massachusetts. Brooke, whose
contentious divorce was a factor in his unsuccessful bid for a third term,
declined to comment on recent claims by TV journalist Barbara Walters that she
and the Senator had a prolonged affair during the 1970s. A combat veteran of
World War II, Brooke received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2004.
