Inscribed Photograph Signed: "For/Michael J. Robuck/with best
wishes/W.M. Coleman M.C.," in blue felt tip. B/w, 8x10. William M. Colmer
(1890-1980) was an American Democratic politician for the state of
Mississippi. In 1932, he was elected to the House of Representatives, and
was reelected 19 times--second all-time in Mississippi history next to only
Jamie Whitten, who served 54 years in Congress. While Colmer began as a more
liberal minded politician, a supporter F.D.R.'s New Deal, as years passed he
became more and more conservative, especially at the height of the Civil Rights
Movement. After the Brown v. Board of Education decision, Colmer fought to
petition integrated schools, helping Southern Congressmen sign the "Southern
Manifesto." Ink note (unknown hand) on verso. Fine
condition.
