Edward Marlow McIntyre Sr. (November 16, 1931 – August 14, 2004) became the first African American mayor of Augusta, Georgia, in 1981.[1] He had previously served as a county commissioner for Richmond County since 1970, as the first black candidate to win the office.[2] He received a U.S. federal conviction for extortion in 1984.[3] He maintained he was innocent. After his release in 1985, he mounted three unsuccessful campaigns for the mayoralty, in 1990, 1998 and 2002.[2]
A graduate of Morehouse College, McIntyre worked for the Pilgrim Health Life Insurance Company before entering politics.[4]
