Timeline

1969

Mohammed Kasim Reed (born June 10, 1969) is an American lawyer and politician who served as the 59th mayor of Atlanta, Georgia's state capital and largest city, from 2010 to 2018.

1975

Henrietta Canty was a member of the Georgia House of Representatives for the 52nd district during 1975–80 and 1990–98, resigning in 1998 to run for Georgia State Insurance Commissioner.

1989

Students took over the Howard administration building in 1989, protesting having Republican National Committee Chairman Lee Atwater on the university's board of trustees, saying that he had contributed to "growing anti-black sentiment in America" through his management of President George H. W. Bush's campaign.

Atwater resigned from the board.

Reed disagreed with their action, saying there was nothing wrong with having the Republican Party try to win the votes of black students.

He felt it would have been better if Atwater had met with the protesting students, as he might have learned more about their position.

For instance, "[he] might have gained insight into a generation of students portrayed as destitute and in need of more federal support."

Reed noted "that 85 percent of Howard's 12,000 students receive federal aid."

An early entrepreneur, by 1989 Reed made $40,000 running a jewelry business which he started at age sixteen.

1990

In 1990 he was invited to comment on the Persian Gulf War military buildup on the MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour.

Also, in November of that year he was featured in Black Enterprise.

While at college, Reed interned for Congressman Joseph Patrick Kennedy II.

During his internship he learned about a federal dollar-for-dollar matching grant program.

In his senior year and as the undergraduate trustee on the university's board of trustees, he instituted a $15-per-semester student fee increase to be matched by the federal grant, with monies to be earmarked for the university's endowment.

The fees were expected to total nearly $300,000 per semester.

The estimate was conservative in the sense that it only assumes the fees from slightly more than 75% of the 12,000 students.

The four-year totals would approach a $2.4 million addition to the endowment.

1991

Reed attended Howard University in Washington, D.C., graduating in 1991 with a degree in political science.

Reed earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science in 1991.

1995

He earned his Juris Doctor degree from Howard University School of Law in 1995.

Reed was the leading vote-getter with 36.6% of the vote, finishing well ahead of community leaders Horace Mann Bond and Eric V. Thomas, the second and third-place finishers, respectively.

This resulted in a head-to-head August 11 run-off election, which Reed won with 60.6% of the vote, against the second-place finisher, Horace Mann Bond II, who had received 19.1% of the vote in July.

Reed ran unopposed in the November 3 general election and won the Assembly seat.
