Emmitt Douglas

Emmitt James Douglas (October 14, 1926 – March 25, 1981)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Social Security Death Index )〕 was an African-American businessman from New Roads, Louisiana, who served as president of his state's National Association for the Advancement of Colored People from 1966 until his death.
==Background==

Douglas was born in Newellton in northern Tensas Parish in northeastern Louisiana to Samuel Frederick Douglas and the former Fannie Rose Armstrong. He was educated at the segregated since defunct black schools in Newellton and from Tensas Rosenwald in St. Joseph, now Tensas High School. He was a classmate of Andrew Brimmer, later the first African American named to the board of governors of the Federal Reserve System. The institutions closed in 1970, when Tensas Parish public schools were desegregated.
Brimmer then attended the historically black Roman Catholic-affiliated Xavier University in New Orleans. Thereafter, Douglas entered the United States Army, where he reached the rank of master sergeant. From 1950–1952, he was stationed in Anchorage, Alaska, and Fort Worth, Texas. Thereafter, he was a letter carrier for the U.S. Postal Service and a salesman for Southern Barber and Beauty Supply Company in Baton Rouge. On July 24, 1949, in New Roads, the seat of Pointe Coupee Parish, Douglas married the former Audrey Marie Daisy (1920–1991), daughter of farmer Thomas Daisy (1898–1975) and the former Lillian Pourclau (1897–1985).〔 The Douglases had one child, Kordice Majella Douglas (born 1955).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Douglas, Emmitt Jame )〕 Kordice Douglas is a graduate of the Harvard Law School and practices law in Baton Rouge.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kordice M. Douglas )
Douglas was active in Democratic politics at a time when his party dominated most of his native state. He headed the New Roads NAACP from 1965–1981 and served on the national board of the organization from 1967–1981. Governor Edwin Washington Edwards appointed Douglas to the Prison System Study Commission. He served in 1975 on the Commission on Judicial Compensation for City, Parish, and Municipal Courts. He was a member of the St. Augustine Catholic Church in New Roads, where he resided from 1949 until his death. He had lived in New Orleans from 1942–1946 and in Baton Rouge from 1946–1949. He was a district manager for Standard Life Insurance Company and Supreme Life Insurance Company and the proprietor of Douglas Barber and Beauty Supply Company and Douglas Fine Foods Grocery, both in Baton Rouge.〔
