THE VIOLENT BEAR IT AWAY EMMETT TILL & THE MODERNIZATION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT IN MISSISSIPPI ∗ ANDERS WALKER ABSTRACT Few racially motivated crimes have left a more lasting imprint on American memory than the death of Emmett Till. Yet, even as Till’s murder in Mississippi in 1955 has come to be remembered as a catalyst for the civil rights movement, it contributed to something else as well. Precisely because it came on the heels of the Supreme Court’s 1954 ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, Till’s death convinced Mississippi Governor James P. Coleman that certain aspects of the state’s handling of racial matters had to change. Afraid that popular outrage over racial violence might encourage federal intervention in the region, Coleman removed power from local sheriffs, expanded state police, and modernized the state’s criminal justice apparatus in order to reduce the chance of further racial violence in the state.

    www.napipa.org NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release For More Information, Contact: February 26, 2016 Alexander Adams (408) 808-3728 NAPIPA URGES PRESIDENT OBAMA TO NOMINATE A QUALIFIED ASIAN AMERICAN JUSTICE TO THE SUPREME COURT SAN JOSE, CA – The National Asian Pacific Islander Prosecutors Association (“NAPIPA”) urges President Obama to nominate a qualified Asian Pacific Islander (“API”) Supreme Court Justice. NAPIPA is a non-profit professional organization dedicated to advancing the interests of prosecutors of API heritage and promoting a greater understanding of the criminal justice system in the API community. NAPIPA has members across the country, consisting of federal, state and local prosecutors, elected officials, and law students. NAPIPA is currently made up of five chapters, including New York, Chicago, Southern California, San Diego, and Northern California. While we applaud the president for increasing the diversity of the federal bench from eight API judges to twenty-five today, we would point out that these numbers still reflect a per-capita underrepresentation of the nation’s fastest growing population group. APIs make up approximately almost 6% of the population and only 2% of the federal bench. Also, no API has ever even been interviewed by the president for the Supreme Court. “With the relatively large number of extremely well qualified API jurists for the President to choose from we hope that he will strongly consider and ultimately nominate one of them,” said Paul T. Jhin, NAPIPA President. “With important cases regarding education, discrimination, and immigration looming, the importance of having a bench that matches the diversity of the country cannot be overstated.” Here are five examples of extraordinarily qualified API candidates to the Supreme Court.

If intellectual brilliance alone were sufficient to qualify someone to serve on the California Supreme Court, then Kruger might be found qualified. But there are other qualities that are essential to doing that job, and Kruger lacks all of them. Lack of Knowledge of California Law It has been reported that Kruger has never practiced law in California. As of this writing, she is an inactive member of the State Bar of California. Her practice of law has been mainly in the federal courts. Federal law is different from California state court law in numerous respects.
