Only one ancillary dwelling can be built on each lot. Building an ancillary dwelling does not allow you to subdivide your lot, unless it is already allowed under the local planning scheme. Be aware that the change to occupancy requirements does not automatically apply to existing ancillary dwellings or granny flats. A new approval from the council is usually required before they can be occupied by a non-family member.
Black Americans in Congress. Since 1870, when Senator Hiram Revels of Mississippi and Representative Joseph Rainey of South Carolina became the first African Americans to serve in Congress, a total of 146 African Americans have served as U.S. Representatives, Delegates, or Senators.
In January, Hiram R. Revels of Mississippi becomes the first African-American elected to the U.S. Senate when he is chosen to complete the term vacated by the former Confederate president, Jefferson Davis. Later the same year, Joseph Hayne Rainey is the first black elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.
