Profile: State Representative
Harold Love*
Dr. James Haney
State Rep. Harold Love has been a member of the Tennessee General Assembly since 1968. A Nashville native, Love was born into a family of four boys and two girls. His parents lived at 1421 Jackson St. for many years. He grew up in a neighborhood where "every neighbor took care of his neighbor's children," he says.
Love's parents placed a premium on education as a means of raising oneself above poverty. "My father and mother made sure that all of the children graduated from high school, and all of them worked their way through Tennessee State University, then called Tennessee A and I." All of the children subsequently purchased homes and were successful, says Love.
"It really does not matter how deep the poverty you come from; if you have it in your mind to succeed, you can do so. There are no acceptable excuses for people who want to get ahead. If you want to succeed, you can."
Love, the senior black member of the Tennessee General Assembly, became involved in activities leading toward public service when M.W. Day invited him to help sell Big Brothers newspapers to raise money for the poor. Day was an influential member of the Nashville Board of Trade, the black counterpart to the white Chamber of Commerce during segregation. "That got me involved in community needs and community service," says Love
