A. G. W. Sango was a laywer, newspaper editor, school founder, and prominent leader in Muskogee, Oklahoma. He founded a bank, establushed a school, and edited the Muskogee Sun. He started a school for African American students called Sango Baptist College and Industrial Institute.[1] He was a Republican.[2]
He was born near Muskogee a half mile north by the Arkansas River.[3] He received a 160 acre allotment and worked as a teacher.[4]
He organized and led the Creek Citizens Bank and served as treasurer of Sango Baptist College,[5] a school for African American Creek he organized.[6] He welcomed Governor Cox to Oklahoma.[7]
In 1899 and 1900 he served in the Creek Nation's House of Warriors.[8] He was involved in a Court of Claims case.[9] He was photographed at a State Funeral Directors meeting.[10] He served as president of the Muskogee Businessmen's League.[6]
In 1921 he was suspended from practicing law for six months.[11] The ruling repeatedly refers to Sango as a "Colored Attorney" and states he did no legal work for a client he travelled to Washington D.C. to bring back to Oklahoma, helped secure her estate for her, and protected from her husband who sought guardianship and financial control over her. He received the same 6 month suspension as the white lawyer, Vernon K. Vilad, who charged her $5,000 a year for fivr years paid in advance despite doing no legal work for her.[12]
