Deval Patrick from WikiPedia:
Deval Laurdine Patrick (born July 31, 1956) is an American politician; he is the current Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the first African American governor of Massachusetts. Prior to being governor, Patrick was an United States Assistant Attorney General under President Bill Clinton.
Patrick was born on the South Side of Chicago, where his family resided in a two-bedroom apartment in Robert Taylor Homes housing projects. In 1959, his father Laurdine "Pat" Patrick, a member of jazz musician Sun Ra's band, left his wife Mae (née Wintersmith),, their son Deval, and their daughter, Rhonda (who is one year Deval's senior) in order to play music in New York City and because he had fathered a daughter by another woman. Deval reportedly had a strained relationship with his father, who opposed his choice of high school, but they eventually reconciled. Patrick was raised by his mother, Mae, who traces her roots to American slaves in the American South, in the state of Kentucky.
