  • John Jay Hooker
    IN THE SUPREME COURT OF TENNESSEE AT NASHVILLE IN RE: JOHN JAY HOOKER No. M2009-01498-SC-OT-CV - Filed February 25, 2011 BPR Docket No. 2005P-1519-5-SG For Publication ORDER John Jay Hooker has filed a motion requesting this Court (1) to set aside its June 21, 2010 order directing the Clerk of the Appellate Courts to decline to accept any of his further filings in this case and (2) to rescind its January 7, 2010 order enforcing the October 20, 2008 order of the Chancery Court for Davidson County suspending his license to practice law for thirty days.1 Mr. Hooker has also requested that all the members of the Court recuse themselves from this proceeding because they “are prejudiced against him as a consequence of a contentious political dispute before the legislature . regarding the [c]onstitutionality of the [r]etention [e]lection [s]tatute.” In order to address Mr. Hooker’s first two requests, the Court must first address his renewed insistence that all the members of this Court are disqualified from any proceedings involving his law license. I. THE HISTORY OF THE PROCEEDINGS For nearly two decades, Mr. Hooker has filed a series of lawsuits in the federal and state courts challenging the financing of elections by officials running for local, state, and federal office. When these suits met with no success in the state trial and appellate courts, Mr. Hooker began challenging the authority of the state appellate courts to hear and decide his claims because he believed that the judges were not validly elected.

Recent years also have seen the marking of the 50th anniversary of both the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed discrimination in public accommodations and employment, and Freedom Summer, when black and white college students journeyed to Mississippi to wage voting rights campaigns there. Yet, in Memphis, Tennessee, African Americans historically faced few barriers to voting. While black southerners elsewhere were killed and harassed for trying to exert their right to vote, black Memphians could vote and used that right as a tool to advance civil rights. Throughout the 1900s, they held the balance of power in elections, ran black candidates for political office, and engaged in voter registration campaigns. Black Memphians in 1964 elected the first black state legislator in Tennessee since the late nineteenth century.

  • LWVOR History 2.Anne
    A Brief History to Mark the First 70 Years of the Oak Ridge League of Women Voters 1946 to 2016 1946—1956 In early June 1946 a meeting was held at Thelma Present's home to discuss the formation of an Oak Ridge chapter of the League of Women Voters. Members of the Knoxville League attended to help with the organization. The president of the Knoxville League brought National League President Anna L. Strauss to the meeting, which attended by 33 women. On June 17, an organizational meeting was held at the Oak Ridge High School auditorium and women interested in “good government” were invited to attend. Temporary officers were elected including three vice presidents, a secretary, and a treasurer. An election for permanent officers was scheduled for September. At this meeting , attended by the Tennessee League President and Vice President, a fourfold program was announced: world famine relief, national and international aspects of atomic legislation, social welfare, and good government and its application to Oak Ridge. One of the first actions taken by the League was to send a telegram to the House Military Affairs Committee and other congressional leaders to urge against further military control in the production of atomic power. In July, the League took on the dilemma of Oak Ridge having only one polling place, with 12 booths, which was not considered sufficient to accommodate the 2100 citizens who had paid their poll tax and were qualified voters. As a result of the League's efforts 26 booths were available for the August 1 election, which was held at an Army barracks at the corner of Scarboro Road and the Oak Ridge Turnpike.

  • LOOKING BACK in HISTORY Happenings in the Cookeville Area As Recorded in the Pages of the Herald Citizen Newspaper, Cookeville, TN
    WAY BACK WHEN: LOOKING BACK IN HISTORY Happenings in the Cookeville area as recorded in the pages of the Herald Citizen Newspaper, Cookeville, TN. By Bob McMillian 1960’s (Compiled by Audrey J. Lambert) http://www.ajlambert.com 1960 (January 11, 1960) The town's two newspapers have changed hands. The Citizen has been sold to Coleman Harwell, former editor and vice•president of the Nashville Tennessean. The Putnam County Herald has also been sold to Harwell by its former publisher, William Matthew. Joining Harwell as a partner in the venture is John Mott, the editor of The Citizen. (January 13, 1960) Tennessee Tech professor D. W. Mattson says they don’t make them like they used to. He’s referring to roads, specifically the road he helped rebuild through Cookeville’s Westside business district in 1930 when he was resident engineer with the State Highway department. It’s still in good shape today. The road’s foundation was a thick sheet of concrete. Mattson, now chairman of TTU’s engineering department, says most of today’s roadbeds begin with layer of crushed stone. It just doesn’t hold up as well. Broad Street through Westside has been heavily traveled for the past 30 years and shows no signs of wear, he says. The one exception today is the new interstate highways like the one that’s due to be built past Cookeville in a year or so.
