Elbert Parr Tuttle: Chief Jurist of the Civil Rights Revolution by Anne Emanuel

Author:Anne Emanuel
Format: pdf
Tags: This is the first—and the only authorized—biography of Elbert Parr Tuttle (1897–1996), the judge who led the federal court with jurisdiction over most of the Deep South through the most tumultuous years of the civil rights revolution. By the time Tuttle became chief judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, he had already led an exceptional life. He had cofounded a prestigious law firm, earned a Purple Heart in the battle for Okinawa in World War II, and led Republican Party efforts in the early 1950s to establish a viable presence in the South. But it was the inter�section of Tuttle’s judicial career with the civil rights movement that thrust him onto history’s stage., Publisher:University of Georgia Press, Published:2011, Related ISBN:9780820339474, Language:English, OCLC:830023006
