Anthony Wilson was a school teacher and American politician. He served in the Georgia House of Representatives. He represented Camden County, Georgia.
Anthony Wilson was born in Georgia. His brother was Hercules Wilson.[1] After the Reconstruction Acts were passed, Wilson was one of the first African-Americans to register to vote in the American South, registering in 1867.
Wilson worked as a school teacher in Camden County, Georgia. He ran for election to the Georgia House of Representatives and won. While serving in the House, Wilson lived with his brother Hercules and a fellow legislator with the last name of Fraiser.[1]
Hercules did not run for re-election, but Anthony Wilson continued to serve in the house. In 1885, Wilson introduced a bill to ban racial discrimination at hotels, theaters and circuses. The bill failed to pass receiving only three votes, all from African-American legislators.[2]
By 1888, he was only one of two African-Americans serving in the Georgia House, the other being S. A. McIvor.[3] His last term was the 1892–93 session.
