Coleman was born on 9 January 1914 to Thomas A. and Jennie Worrell Coleman who owned a 120 acre farm near Fentress in Choctaw County, Mississippi. He attended a local county school before graduating from Ackerman High School in 1931. As a young boy, Coleman enjoyed hearing political speeches: "That was, to me, extremely thrilling and interesting…I have known since I was 10 years old that nothing would suit me but to be a lawyer." After graduation, Coleman worked for a year before enrolling at the University of Mississippi, where he washed dishes, waited on tables, and swept floors to pay for expenses. After two years, Coleman moved to Washington, DC and joined the staff of U.S. Representative Aaron Ford of Mississippi. At the time, Lyndon B. Johnson served on the staff of U.S. Representative Dick Kleberg of Texas and dominated the Little Congress, an organization of congressional aides. Coleman triumphed in a 1935 leadership contest against Johnson's handpicked candidate and earned the future president's lifelong respect and friendship. Also during this period, Coleman married Margaret Dennis and attended George Washington Law School. In 1937, he passed the Mississippi Bar but remained enrolled in school until completing his degree in 1939. That year, Coleman returned home to open his law practice in Ackerman, and voters soon elected him District Attorney for a seven-county Fifth Circuit of Mississippi. In 1946, he won a race to become circuit judge. "That was the best job I've ever had," he stated. "I got more satisfaction personally out of being a circuit judge. I was here where I knew everybody. But I knew at that age that I couldn't spend the rest of my life as a circuit judge." In 1950, Coleman became the youngest member of the Mississippi Supreme Court. However, three months into his new position, Governor Fielding Wright asked Coleman to accept the post of state attorney general. Initially, the young justice balked, but a call from his friend U.S. Senator John Stennis convinced him that taking the job would advance his chances for becoming governor one day. Coleman played an active role policing gambling on the Gulf Coast and acquired the nicknames "Constable Coleman" and "Dick Tracy Coleman." His stance on law enforcement paid off in the 1955 gubernatorial race. In the Democratic primary, Coleman faced off against Paul B. Johnson Jr., Mary Cain, Fielding Wright, and Ross Barnett. A year earlier, the Supreme Court had issued its Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka ruling on the unconstitutionality of segregation in public schools. A leading issue of the campaign, Coleman promised to prevent integration. The "Choctaw County Plowboy" won the nomination carrying 66 of 82 counties in a runoff and later triumphed in the state election. At the time Coleman was viewed as a "moderate" segregationist -- one who utilized legal methods to preserve racial separation while disavowing extremist rhetoric or tactics. During his tenure, the legislature passed a resolution of interposition authorizing the state to obstruct implementation of the Brown decision. Although Coleman described the theory of interposition as "legal poppycock," he did sign the measure. The legislature also created the State Sovereignty Commission to oversee this mandate, making the governor its chairman. However, Coleman vetoed a law which sought to hinder federal civil rights investigations, and he prevented efforts to outlaw the NAACP. As governor, he also donated state property for an integrated federal veterans hospital. Having campaigned on the issue of economic development, Coleman continued the Balance Agriculture with Industry program started by his predecessor. During his administration, the state issued $50 million in bonds to attract industry, garnering 35,000 new jobs. Coleman also worked with Alabama Governor James E. Folsom and legislators in both states to develop plans for the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway linking those two rivers to the Gulf of Mexico. The Mississippi legislature defeated Coleman's efforts to convene a state convention for creating a new constitution more in line with modern society. In 1984, he remarked that "My regret of a lifetime has to be the failure to get a constitutional convention in 1957….That represented an opportunity to show the world Mississippi was liberating itself from that part of the past we should no longer be chained to." Coleman proved more successful in his promotion of the Old Capitol's restoration and transformation into a state historical museum. At the end of his administration, Coleman boasted a $35 million surplus in the state treasury. Prevented by state law from serving two successive terms, Coleman became Choctaw County's representative in the Mississippi House for four years. He is the only Mississippian to have served in all three branches of the state government. In 1963, Coleman sought the post of governor again. This time, Paul B. Johnson Jr. won, largely by drawing voters' attention to Coleman's friendship with the unpopular John F. Kennedy. Coleman had supported the Democratic National Party's presidential nominees in both the 1956 and 1960 elections, angering those whites who opposed the national party's civil rights platform. President Kennedy later offered him an appointment as Secretary of the Army and ambassador to Australia, but the Mississippi politician declined both posts. Soon after losing the 1963 election, the Mississippi members of the U.S. House of Representatives hired Coleman as legal counsel to represent them in a suit filed by the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. The plaintiffs sought to bar the members from public office on the grounds that their elections were illegal due to civil rights violations at the polls. The Mississippi delegation eventually took their seats, and Coleman later reflected "I assume that's the most important case I've ever handled in my career as a lawyer." At the urging of senators James O. Eastland and John C. Stennis, President Lyndon B. Johnson nominated his old Little Congress adversary and friend to the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in June 1965. Opposed by civil rights groups during the confirmation process, Attorney General

    STATE CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY PROVISIONS AND MUNICIPAL ORDINANCES HELD UNCONSTITUTIONAL OR HELD TO BE PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW 2317 STATE CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY PROVI- SIONS AND MUNICIPAL ORDINANCES HELD UN- CONSTITUTIONAL OR HELD TO BE PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW Three separate lists of Supreme Court decisions appear below: part I lists cases holding state constitutional or statutory provisions unconstitu- tional, part II lists cases holding local laws unconstitutional, and part III lists cases holding that state or local laws are preempted by federal law. As Congress acted as the legislature for the District of Columbia until passage of the Home Rule Act on December 24, 1973, District of Columbia statutes that were enacted by Congress are treated as federal statutes (and included in a prior appendix), and District of Columbia statutes en- acted by the District of Columbia government are treated as state stat- utes. Each case is briefly summarized, and the votes of Justices are indi- cated unless the Court’s decision was unanimous. Justices who write or join the majority or plurality opinion are listed under “Justices concur- ring”, whether or not they write separate concurring opinions, and Jus- tices who do not join the majority or plurality opinion, but write separate opinions concurring in the result, are listed under “Justices specially con- curring.” Previous editions contained only two lists, one for cases holding state laws unconstitutional or preempted by federal law, and one for unconsti- tutional or preempted local laws. The 2002 edition added the third cat- egory because of the different nature of preemption cases. State or local laws held to be preempted by federal law are void not because they con- travene any provision of the Constitution, but rather because they conflict with a federal statute or treaty, and through operation of the Supremacy Clause.

He was known by the name of Juan de Fuca, and the name was subsequently given to a portion of the waters he discovered. As far as known he made no official report of his discoveries, but he told navi­ gators, and from these men has descended to us the knowledge thereof. Richard Hakluyt, in 1600, gave some account of Fuca and his voyages and discoveries. Michael Locke, in 1625, pub­ lished the following statement in England. "I met in Venice in 1596 an old Greek mariner called Juan de Fuca, but whose real name was Apostolus Valerianus, who detailed that in 1592 he sailed in a small caravel from Mexico in the service of Spain along the coast of Mexico and California, until he came to the latitude of 47 degrees, and there finding the land trended north and northeast, and also east and south east, with a broad inlet of seas between 47 and 48 degrees of latitude, he entered therein, sailing more than twenty days, and at the entrance of said strait there is on the northwest coast thereto a great headland or island, with an exceeding high pinacle or spiral rock, like a pillar thereon." Fuca also reported find­ ing various inlets and divers islands; describes the natives as dressed in skins, and as being so hostile that he was glad to get away.
