Powell Is Man Of Contrasts With Taste For Dramatics
Adam Clayton Powell, newly elected in Harlem's Democratic primary, is a controversial figure known for civil rights advocacy and dramatic oratorical style. The 49 year old has faced tax evasion charges and clashed with Tammany Hall while building a career from New Haven to New York politics. He has supported Eisenhower in 1956 and serves as a lightning rod in Harlem politics. Powell is married twice with a son from his second marriage to Hazel Scott. He has been praised by NAACP officials for his impact and criticized for political clashes and flamboyance.
