Davis, a thirty-two-year-old Harvard Law graduate and the first full-time civil rights lobbyist in American history, was no stranger to the ritualized sparring of congressional testimony.4 Introduced by the Committee Chairman as “a witness who represents a large number of colored people,” Davis was a widely recognized spokesman for the Black left and national secretary of the National Negro Congress (NNC).5 Although little known today, he was a towering civil rights figure during the 1930s, described by one biographer as “inspir[ing] more excitement, energy, and protest at the black grassroots level than any African American since Marcus Garvey.”6 In his testimony, he laid out detailed arguments for his position, directly cited and harshly criticized specific Supreme Court precedents, and deftly parried the “vicious questions” of pro-segregation Southern senators.7 Although his remarks, ignored by the On April 16, 1937, a radical young lawyer named John P. Davis testified before the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary in favor of President Roosevelt’s Courtpacking plan.1 As the only Black witness to testify over nearly five weeks of hearings, Davis argued that increasing the size of the Supreme Court would push the United States towards racial equality while protecting the civil rights of Black Americans.2 When white witnesses touched briefly on Black issues, they almost uniformly argued against Courtpacking and advocated the so-called bulwark theory of civil rights, expressed in some quarters of the Black community, that the Court was a final refuge for vindicating the rights of individual Black Americans targeted by the oppressive racial violence of Southern states and denied justice by Southern courts.3 But Davis represented a very different vision of civil rights, originating in left-wing parts of the Black community, that integrated labor and economic issues, citizenship rights, FDR’s Court-packing and the Struggle for Civil Rights","PeriodicalId":41873,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Supreme Court History","volume":"48 1","pages":"215 - 238"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42797012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

White to life in this manner, I always feel rather ashamed at doing so. Ashamed, because I have the distinct feeling that White is sitting in the corner of the classroom politely trying not to roll his eyes in frustration that yet another person has capped off their description of his lifetime of accomplishments with reference to his athletic achievements. In 1935, a Denver Post journalist “saddled” the rising college football star White “with a name he did not seek, did not like, and could not shake.”1 Much to White’s dismay, “He graduated from Yale Law School; he served in the Navy in World War II; and he was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University . . .” Introducing my “law and courts” students to the extraordinary biography of Byron R. White usually begins with these observations. Although this summary of his accomplishments is traditionally prefaced with a statement saying that White had a “résumé you pretty much can’t beat,” I still have not captured my students’ attention. Yale Law seems several worlds away for them; World War II is ancient history; and they have no idea what a Rhodes Scholar is. So, I continue. “Deputy Attorney General during the presidency of John F. Kennedy; and then one of Kennedy’s appointments to the Supreme Court of the United States in 1962, serving on that Court until 1993.” Some of the students are now impressed.
