Mayor Carl T. Langford's (1918-2011) bugle. Langford served as mayor from 1967 to 1980, succeeding a recently deceased Mayor Bob Carr (1899-1967) at the helm of the City Beautiful. A businessman by trade, Mayor Langford had no previous political experience whatsoever when he took over as mayor. Mayor Carr had been a well-loved figure in Orlando politics and many had opposed Langford in his bid to succeed him. Mayor Langford was famous for his open door policy, through which he encouraged any and all citizens who had a concern to come and see him. Mayor Carr had created the Human Relations Committee and the Inter-Racial Advisory Committee to provide Orlando with a model group of individuals who would deal with race relations and provide a new sense of community. Mayor Langford appointed Robert Joseph Chewning, a political opponent, to the position of Chief of Police for the Orlando Police Department (OPD). Chief Chewning would go on to completely modernize the Orlando Police Department including the desegregation of officers and the appointment of the first black police lieutenant in Orlando. Mayor Langford worked to obtain raises for the police force and to make it easier for African Americans to join the police and fire departments. Mayor Langford's legacy also includes the development of the Orlando International Airport, which was initially the McCoy Air Force Base. At midnight on his final day as mayor, Langford, a former boy scout, played "Taps" on the bugle on the steps of city hall.
