A. A. Rogers or A. A. Rodgers was a state legislator in Mississippi.[1] He was a representative of Marshall County, Mississippi in the Mississippi House of Representatives from 1874 to 1875. He was a Republican,[2] and African American.[3] In 1873, he served in the state Republican convention.[4] He aligned with the temperance movement, and voted to sustain the governor's veto of a bill relating to liquor.[5]
Eric Foner lists him as A. A. Rodgers in Freedom's Lawmakers. He is listed with the same name in a Vicksburg Times article in 1873.[4]
