Biography
He was the son of Loring M. Black and Elizabeth Black, born on May 17, 1886, in New York City. He graduated from Fordham University in 1907. Then he studied law at Columbia Law School, was admitted to the bar in 1909, and practiced in New York City. He was married to Beatrice M. Eddy, and later to Loy Spencer.
Black was a member of the New York State Senate (4th D.) in 1911 and 1912. Due to his young age he became known as "The Kid Senator". He was again a member of the State Senate in 1919 and 1920.
Black was elected as a Democrat to the 68th, 69th, 70th, 71st, 72nd and 73rd United States Congresses, holding office from March 4, 1923, to January 3, 1935. Opposing prohibition, he was one of the leaders of the "wet bloc" in Congress. Afterwards he resumed the practice of law in New York City and Washington, D.C.
Black died on May 21, 1956, in a drugstore at Washington, D.C., of a heart attack; and was buried at the Fort Lincoln Cemetery in Brentwood, Maryland.
