"Hawkins retired in 1991 to his Los Angeles home, and lived in Washington, D.C. for the remainder of his life." So, did he retire to Los Angeles, or DC? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.99.237.84 (talk) 18:50, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

african american?
There reads: He served as the first African American from California in the United States Congress.

Does "African American" mean black? He looks white to me. 82.141.95.202 (talk) 20:20, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: moved. (closed by non-admin page mover) feminist (talk) 17:56, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

Augustus F. Hawkins → Augustus Hawkins – WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and WP:COMMONNAME. On the surface, "Augustus F. Hawkins" gets around 5,000 more google results than "Augustus Hawkins", but a closer look shows some of those extra results are related to places named after Hawkins, such as Augustus F. Hawkins High School and the Augustus F. Hawkins Mental Health Center. It is customary for places named after members of Congress to include middle initials - see list of places named after Robert Byrd.

Relating to the person, most national media coverage omitted his middle initial.
 * The Vanderbilt Television News Archive shows no results for "Augustus F. Hawkins" but 22 for "Augustus Hawkins" for the US network newscasts dating back to the 1970s, for instance this 1978 report from the ABC Evening News about the Humphrey–Hawkins Full Employment Act.
 * The United Press International website has 75 google results for "Augustus Hawkins" site:upi.com but none including the middle initial.
 * Time magazine mentioned Hawkins in this 1987 story as "Representative Augustus Hawkins of California".
 * The Washington Post titled his 2007 obituary: "Augustus Hawkins; Calif. Congressman". A 1990 profile of him by the same newspaper led off: "Somehow Rep. Augustus Hawkins (D-Calif.) knew the last days of his 28 years in Congress would be marked by an executive slap."

Also, a major scholarly work omits his middle initial, specifically the Encyclopedia of African American Politics in a section about the Humphrey–Hawkins Full Employment Act.
