William F. Winter and the Politics of Racial Moderation in Mississippi
WILLIAM WINTER AND THE POLITICS OF RACIAL MODERATION 335 William F. Winter and the Politics of Racial Moderation in Mississippi by Charles C. Bolton On May 12, 2008, William F. Winter received the Profile in Courage Award from the John F. Kennedy Foundation, which honored the former Mississippi governor for “championing public education and racial equality.” The award was certainly well deserved and highlighted two important legacies of one of Mississippi’s most important public servants in the post–World War II era. During Senator Edward M. Kennedy’s presentation of the award, he noted that Winter had been criticized “for his integrationist stances” that led to his defeat in the gubernatorial campaign of 1967. Although Winter’s opponents that year certainly tried to paint him as a moderate (or worse yet, a liberal) and as less than a true believer in racial segregation, he would be the first to admit that he did not advocate racial integration in 1967; indeed, much to his regret later, Winter actually pandered to white segregationists in a vain attempt to win the election. Because Winter, over the course of his long career, has increasingly become identified as a champion of racial justice, it is easy, as Senator Kennedy’s remarks illustrate, to flatten the complexity of Winter’s evolution on the issue CHARLES C. BOLTON is the guest editor of this special edition of the Journal of Mississippi History focusing on the career of William F. Winter. He is profes- sor and head of the history department at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. -

Box 1023 LAMBDA LEGAL DEFENSE & Jackson, MS 39215-1023 EDUCATION FUND, INC. 730 Peachtree Street Suite 640 Atlanta, GA 30308 i QUESTIONS PRESENTED In Obergefell v. Hodges, 135 S. Ct. 2584 (2015), this Court held that the Constitution entitles same- sex couples to join in civil marriage on the same terms as different-sex couples. In response, Missis- sippi enacted the Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act, Miss. Code Ann. § 11-62-1 et seq. (2016) (“HB 1523”). HB 1523 grants broad immunity to any person who commits enumerated acts of discrimination on the basis of religious beliefs or moral convictions opposing mar- riage of same-sex couples; transgender individuals; and sexual relations outside of a male-female mar- riage. The court of appeals held that petitioners, who do not share the endorsed beliefs, lack standing un- der the Establishment Clause because the religious endorsement takes the form of a statute rather than a religious display that they can physically encoun- ter, and held that they lack standing under the Equal Protection Clause because they have suffered no unequal treatment. -

They contend that the law violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. The Attorney General’s Office has entered its appearance to defend HB 1523. The parties briefed the relevant issues and presented evidence and argument at a joint hearing on June 23 and 24, 2016. The United States Supreme Court has spoken clearly on the constitutional principles at stake. Under the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, a state “may not aid, foster, or Case 3:16-cv-00442-CWR-LRA Document 35 Filed 06/30/16 Page 2 of 60 promote one religion or religious theory against another.” Epperson v. Arkansas, 393 U.S. 97, 104 (1968). “When the government acts with the ostensible and predominant purpose of advancing religion, it violates that central Establishment Clause value of official religious neutrality, there being no neutrality when the government’s ostensible object is to take sides.” McCreary Cnty., Kentucky v. -
David Bowen Interview Oral History Program Congressional and Political Research Center at Mississippi State University
David Bowen Interview Oral History Program Congressional and Political Research Center at Mississippi State University This is an interview with former Congressman David Bowen on July 10, 2001at his home in Jackson, Mississippi at 75 Eastbrook. I am Mike Ballard, coordinator of Congressional and Political Research Center at Mississippi State University. DR. BALLARD: I know you were born in Chickasaw County and grew up MR. BOWEN: Well, I got into politics by accident. As it were, I happened to be born in Chickasaw County because my mother was from Monroe County and my father was an appraiser for the Federal Land Bank. And which was one of those agencies created to do something about the great agricultural depressions, off and on, of the twentieth century starting in the twenties and into the thirties. He was training there and so I happened to be born there but I was only there for a few months before my family moved to Cleveland, Mississippi, in the Delta, which was a place appropriately located for farm appraisers. My father bought a farm there and he also owned a farm where he was raised, up between Holly Springs and Senatobia, Tate and Marshall Counties in North Mississippi. So he was a farmer by background. He went to Mississippi State and had an agricultural degree from there but rather than farm he ended up in farm appraising so he farmed on the side, owned two farms, one we bought in Boliver County and the one we owned up in North Mississippi in Tate and Marshall Counties. -

Okay, please give us a brief biographical sketch to include your date of birth, place of birth, and schools attended. FB: Well, I was born April 2, 1929, in Hot Springs, Garland Co., Arkansas. My mother was born in Hattiesburg, Mississippi in 1902 and we happened to be in Hot Springs because my mother had moved there five years before my birth for her health. My father had to sell his business and relocate in Hot Springs. But apparently, my mother recovered sufficiently to have me in 1929. I only lived in Hot Springs about three years and I grew up in Hattiesburg, Forrest Co. Mississippi. And, received my elementary education there, and was graduated from High School there, in Hattiesburg, in 1947. I attended the University of Mississippi, I went to the U.S. Army, I was graduated with a BA Degree from the University of Southern Mississippi, then Mississippi Southern College, Hattiesburg. I attended the University of Mississippi, Ole Miss School of Law one year, and was graduated after two years at the George Washington University School of Law in Washington D.C.

Natchez Political Handbook, 1965
By Alexander Shimkin QUITE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE REGISTERED TO VOTE. NOW WE MUST KNOW HOW TO BEST USE THOSE BALLOTS . WE ALS O MUST BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN POLITICS AT ALL LEVELS. LET US TAKE A LOOK AT THE POLITICAL STRUCTURE THAT AFFECTS US. The Federal Gover nment a nd Mississippi The federal gover nment is important in several ways: 1. Congr e s s provides almost all the funds for welfare services in the state. 2 . The federal courts decide on most of the cases involving demonstrations (such as picketing and parading without a permit), school desegregation, and voting. They also decide how the state will be divided up f or purposes of repr esentation. 3. The Justice Department is supposed to bring the cases to the federal courts whenever federal laws are involved. The Federal Bureau of Investi .~· ati on is supposed t o investigate crimes t o see if civil rights are involved. The attorney general sends federal voter registrars into c ounties where he thinks they are needed. 4. The Office of Economic Opportunity manages the funds for the poverty program. Over 75 per cent of the money the state gets f or welfare programs like aid to dependent children and old age assistance c omes from the federal government. The funds are given out by the U.S . Congress. School districts also receive federal funds, but first they must sign a compliance pledge which says they promise to desegregate their schools . Under the 1964 Civil Rights Act, school districts must sign these pledges to c ontinue receiving money from the federal government. -
