Vernon Jordan, Civil Rights Pioneer and Clinton Adviser, Dies at 85 Bloomberg 3/2/2021 © Photographer: Andrew Harrer/Bloomberg Vernon Jordan (Bloomberg) Vernon Jordan, a civil rights pioneer and Washington power broker who was a behind-the-scenes force in former President Bill Clinton’s administration, has died. He was 85. Popular Searches Jordan died Monday evening, his daughter, Vickee Jordan, said in an emailed statement Tuesday. An activist and a longtime confidante to Clinton, Jordan was a rare person to straddle Wall Street and Washington in prominent positions and break racial divisions along the way. He grew up in Jim Crow Georgia and worked as a chauffeur to a white banker, before rising to become one of the most significant advisers to corporate boards in America. Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. has previously called Jordan the “Rosa Parks of Wall Street.”
