  • 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.

Central agencies, however, function independently from one another and from the House and Senate, but under the general supervision of different joint committees. Central agency directors, the clerk of the House and the secretary of the Senate are principally responsible for hiring, supervision and personnel policy. The clerk of the House and the secretary of the Senate have very broad authority to determine management and personnel matters for the largest number of employees. The lieutenant governor and the speaker of the House have separate staffs and funding. SHARED SENATE/HOUSE SERVICES Legislative Reference Service Under the supervision of the Legislative Council, the Legislative Reference Service provides general legal and policy research, bill drafting, library services, codification and administrative code publishing services. Legislative Fiscal Office Operations of the Legislative Fiscal Office are overseen by the Joint Fiscal Committee. The agency provides general fiscal research, staffs the budget committees and prepares fiscal notes on pending legislation. Department of Examiners of Public Accounts Operations of the agency are overseen by the Legislative Committee on Public Accounts.
