In 2002, Ambassador James Irvin Gadsden, career diplomat, and educator, was appointed by President George W. Bush to serve as ambassador to Iceland. Gadsden was born on March 12, 1948 in Charleston, South Carolina, to James who worked as a janitor and Hazel Gaines Gadsden who was a housewife and part-time domestic servant.
Gadsden attended racially segregated Charleston schools. From 1962 to 1964, he was a standout student at Charles A. Brown High School, where teachers, including future South Carolina Congressman James Clyburn, provided their students with the best education their resources would allow.

In 1977, Gadsden became one of the few blacks assigned to a diplomatic mission on European soil, when he was sent to the U.S. Embassy in Hungary (1977-1981). Building on this experience and continuing through various
