Jesse Dwight Locker (May 31, 1891, College Hill, Cincinnati – April 10, 1955, Monrovia, Liberia) was an attorney, politician and, when he was appointed the American ambassador to Liberia, the second African American appointed as ambassador. His father, Laban Locker, was the first black minister in Ohio to be ordained in the Christian Church. Jesse graduated valedictorian of his class at College Hill High School and graduated from Howard University with a law degree in 1945. He returned to Cincinnati and spent 35 years practicing law. He was elected to the Cincinnati City Council, on the Republican ticket, in 1941, serving almost 12 years. He was the first African American elected to the council. In 1951, Locker was elected its president. Locker also was president of the segregated Hamilton County Bar Association for Negro Lawyers.
