Jefferson Franklin Long (March 3, 1836 – February 4, 1901) was an American politician from Georgia. He was the second African American sworn into the US House of Representatives, and the first African-American congressman from Georgia. He was the only African American to represent Georgia until Andrew Young was elected in 1972. Long was the first African-American Representative to speak on the floor of the U.S. House, opposing the Amnesty Bill that exempted former Confederates serving in the House from swearing allegiance to the Constitution.
