- (Congressional staff members related an incident in 2001, in which they recalled the freshman Representative Melissa Hart of Pennsylvania, who is white, admonishing Representative Julia Carson, who is black, that the elevator they were riding on was members-only. Ms. Carson, of Indiana, proceeded to introduce herself to her new colleague, offense taken.) [1] --Neutralitytalk 06:05, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 10th district -> 7th district
An anonymous editor changed the succession from Andrew Jacobs, Jr. to John T. Myers. While it is true that Myers was the last previous person to represent the district called the 7th, it is not the same district. Indiana lost a seat in 2002, and the districts were re-numbered. Carson succeeded Jacobs as the 10th district rep in 1996, and the district boundaries were re-drawn, with the new 7th being substantially the same as the old 10th. The district known as the 7th prior to 2002 was in a different part of the state and had no common territory with the new 7th. --rogerd 10:44, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
