Return to Table of Contents » BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE John C. Satterfield was born on 25 July 1904 in Port Gibson, Mississippi. His father was a Claiborne County attorney, and the son began working part-time in his father's office at the age of ten. Satterfield graduated from Port Gibson Junior College in 1924. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Millsaps College in 1926 and a law degree from the University of Mississippi in 1929. Satterfield supported himself at the last two institutions by working as a correspondent for the Associated Press, the Memphis Commercial Appeal, and the New Orleans Times-Picayune. While at Millsaps, he also served as state director of the YMCA. Admitted to the Mississippi bar in 1929, Satterfield joined the practice of Alexander & Alexander in Jackson. That same year, the twenty-year-old was elected to the Mississippi House of Representatives where he remained until 1932. During this period, Satterfield helped to draft the law which governed the building of the state highway system, chaired the Constitution Committee, and served as secretary of the Judiciary Committee. In 1933, Satterfield married Ruth Quin with whom he had one son, John C. Satterfield Jr., and a daughter, Ellen Drake. In 1943, he married Mary Virginia Fly of Yazoo City, with whom he had a second daughter, Mary Laura. Satterfield became a partner of Alexander & Satterfield in 1935. In 1944, he left the firm to become the senior partner of Satterfield & Ewing (transformed to Satterfield, Ewing, Williams & Shell in 1950 and Satterfield, Shell, Williams & Buford in 1955). In 1976, Satterfield withdrew from his partnership to form Satterfield & Allred. Satterfield served as general counsel for Mississippi Chemical Corporation in Yazoo City from 1948 to 1976 and for First Mississippi Corporation in Jackson from 1957 to 1974. He has represented the State Highway Department and served as special counsel for the City of Jackson. In 1969, Time described Satterfield as "the most prominent segregationist lawyer in the country." Satterfield represented Governor Ross Barnett against federal obstruction charges in conjunction with the 1962 integration of the University of Mississippi. He drafted legislation for the Citizens' Councils and acted as counsel to the Mississippi Sovereignty Commission, the Coordinating Committee for Fundamental American Freedoms, and the General Legislative Investigating Committee of the Mississippi Legislature which released a report on the 1962 University of Mississippi riot and the resulting campus occupation by federal troops. In 1969- 70, Satterfield served as special counsel for a number of public school districts across Mississippi and the South seeking to delay desegregation, a consolidated case that reached as high as the Supreme Court. Satterfield was a charter member and the second chairman of the Mississippi Bar's Young Lawyers section. He was president of the Mississippi State Bar in 1954-55, and during his tenure assisted in the passage of statutes that modernized court procedures and administration and established a minimum-fee schedule for the state's lawyers. An active member of the American Bar Association, Satterfield served on numerous committees over the years including: Rules & Calendar, Jurisprudence & Law Reform, Resolutions, Individual Rights as Affected by National Security, Continuing Legal Education, Awards to Media of Public Information, Economics of Law Practice (chair). He served on the organization's Board of Governors from 1955 through 1958 and represented Mississippi in the House of Delegates for twelve years. In August 1960, he became president-elect of the American Bar Association (the first Mississippian thus honored) and held the presidential office from 1961 through 1962. Satterfield was also a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation, served as director of the American Judicature Society, and was a charter member of Scribes (a society of authors on legal subjects). He also belonged to the American Law Institute, the International Bar Association, the Federal Bar Association, the American College of Probate Counsel, the Mississippi Defense Lawyers Association, the International Association of Insurance Counsel. Satterfield was a member of Phi Delta Phi, Beta Theta Pi, Omicron Delta Kappa, Sigma Epsilon, the Masons, the Rotary Club of Yazoo City, and the Kiwanis Club of Jackson. A Methodist, Satterfield attended both Galloway Memorial Church in Jackson and First Methodist Church in Yazoo City, serving on the General Board of Social & Economic Relations from 1952-1960; the general conference of 1952 & 1960; and the Southeast Jurisdictional Conference in 1952, 1956, and 1960; and presiding over the Jackson District Board of Missions & Extensions. Satterfield died on 5 May 1981 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His grave rests in Lakewood Memorial Park in Jackson. Return to Table of Contents » SCOPE NOTE The collection primarily consists of files Satterfield maintained relating to his American Bar Association activities in the 1950s and 1960s. Topics of these ABA files include various committees, Board of Governors, House of Delegates, correspondence, meetings, speeches, invitations, membership drives, public relations, clippings, and various subjects. In addition to the American Bar Association files, the collection also includes case files related to the 1962 integration of the University of Mississippi (when Satterfield represented Governor Ross Barnett), the integration of Yazoo City public schools, and consolidated cases of public schools across the South fighting integration in the late 1960s and early 1970s. While most of the inventory description is folder-level only, a selection of files related primarily to the integration of the University of Mississippi in 1962 possess an item-level description for each document in that file. Finally, the collection also includes files on speeches and subjects not related to the ABA, as well as an oil portrait of Satterfield by the artist Greystone.

Ponton In 1960, John F. Kennedy, a wealthy New England Catholic, traveled to a rural, Protestant state to contend in an election that few thought he could win. While many scholars have examined the impact of Kennedy’s victory in the West Virginia primary, few have analyzed the importance that his visit to the state in 1960 and his ensuing administration had on West Virginia. Kennedy enacted a number of policies directed specifically toward relieving the poverty that had plagued West Virginia since statehood.

    CONNECT ENRICH TRANSFORM LUMCON 2020 ANNUAL REPORT LUMCON 2020 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 2 LUMCON 2020 ANNUAL REPORT Page | 3 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE At the beginning of 2020, LUMCON was positioned for one of the most exceptional years in our history. We were set to have a record number of K-12 students at the DeFelice Center, an extraordinary set of summer courses, groundbreaking field research, and over 400 days at sea on our research vessels. On March 3rd, we celebrated the keel laying of the R/V Gilbert Mason with Governor John Bel Edwards and the family of civil-rights advocate, Dr. Mason, in attendance. Dr. Mason’s family, our colleagues at the University of Southern Mississippi and Oregon State University, representatives from the parish and state, and LUMCON staff members came together afterward for a crawfish boil. It was good food and good community that is the continued backbone of life in the bayou. Then on March 13th, coincidentally a Friday, I closed LUMCON to all staff and visitors for four months. Since that time, many of us have continued to work from home, with a small percentage of the staff returning daily to the Center. We continue to remain closed to the public, students, and visiting researchers. This year presented a host of new challenges; many never encountered at LUMCON. Yet, the staff’s persistence through years of hurricanes, flooding, budget fluctuations, and various other adversities, have forged a resilient institution. Those honed skills produced an organization that is adaptable and is always ready to tackle the job at hand.

  • Letters from Kevin Ring, President, Families Against Mandatory Minimums, to Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband (Nov
    January 7, 2020 Eric S. Dreiband, Esq. Assistant Attorney General Civil Rights Division United States Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20530 Re: Request for Immediate CRIPA Investigation into Conditions of Confinement in the Mississippi Department of Corrections Dear Assistant Attorney General Dreiband: We write on behalf of the thousands of Mississippians who are currently incarcerated in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections (“MDOC”) and their family members, friends, and communities. The Mississippi prison system is in a state of acute and undeniable crisis, with five deaths in just the last ten days,1 and a history of preventable deaths and injuries stretching back years. Mississippi has acknowledged the danger presented by severe understaffing and horrific conditions,2 but has repeatedly failed to take appropriate action notwithstanding advocacy, litigation, and the pleas of those incarcerated and those who work in Mississippi’s prisons. As indicated by its track record over the last several years and substantiated by the events of the last ten days, Mississippi is deliberately and systematically subjecting people in its care to a substantial risk of serious harm due to understaffing, in violation of the rights secured and protected by the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution, and it is no exaggeration to say more 1 The deaths are: • On December 29, 2019, Terrandance Dobbins was killed in a “major disturbance” at SMCI, in which several other individuals were injured. • On January 1, 2020, Walker Gates was stabbed to death at Parchman during a “major disturbance” at that prison.

The major objective of this work is to show that questions concerning the constitutionality of the proposed mission, the possible effects of the mission on domestic slavery, and the potential damage to American neutrality were the primary cause of that opposition. This study will show that opposition to the Panama Congress was based on these three serious objections, not just on the residual feud arising from the presidential election of 1824. The political feud served only to act as a rallying point for diverse segments of an opposition that would have formed in any case. The author wishes to express his appreciation to his major adviser, Dr. Michael M. Smith. Dr. Smith's patience and guidance were of inestimable value in aiding the completion of this study. Appreciation is also expressed to the other committee members, Dr. Joseph A. Stout and Dr.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Nationally, approximately 40% of new attorneys work at firms consisting of more than 50 lawyers. Therefore, a large percentage of practicing attorneys work for small firms (fewer than 50 attorneys). Small firms generally do not have formalized recruiting procedures or a set “hiring season” when they recruit summer law clerks, school-year law clerks, or entry-level attorneys. Instead, these firms hire on an as-needed basis, and they hire year round. To secure employment with a small firm, students and lawyers alike need to be proactive in getting their name and interests out in the community. Applicants should not only apply directly to these firms, but they should connect via law school, community, and bar association activities. In this directory, you will find state-by-state hyperlinks to regional directories, bar associations, newspapers, and job banks that can be used to jump-start a small firm search.

  • 6 European Colonization in Mississippi
    6 EUROPEAN COLONIZATION IN MISSISSIPPI1 JACK D. ELLIOTT, JR. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this report is to identify the cultural resources of Mississippi pertaining to the Period of European Colonization. The cultural resources include both sites and buildings. The term “sites” is the more inclusive of the two terms. Sites are the places at which past activities occurred and consequently include sites on which are located historic building, sites with archaeological remains, and even sites which were the scenes of past activities, yet at which there are no extant physical remains other than the physical landscape, associated with those events. The Period of European Colonization is separated from the preceding Period of European Exploration by the beginning of permanent European settlement. Permanent settlement is particularly important for the aspect of historic preservation programs that deal with Euro-American culture in that it marks the inception of a time period in which we first find significant numbers of sites and other remains of occupation. Prior to the beginning of permanent European settlement in Mississippi the European presence was confined to merely sporadic expeditions and wanderers that seldomed on the same site for more than a season at most. Such sites have typically been difficult if not impossible to identify. It has only been with the inception of permanent European settlement that we first have settlements that were sufficiently permanent that they can be identified through maps, written sources, and archaeological remains. Consequently, the distinction between the periods of exploration and colonization is more fundamental than that between the period of colonization and the succeeding periods under American jurisdiction.
