George Clifton Edwards, Jr.
George Clifton Edwards, Jr. (August 6, 1914 – April 8, 1995) was a justice of the Michigan Supreme Court from 1956 until 1962 and judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit from 1963 to 1995.
==Early education and career==
Born in Dallas, Texas, Edwards received a B.A. from Southern Methodist University in 1933 and an M.A. from Harvard University in 1934. Edwards moved to Detroit, Michigan in 1936 and became a UAW union organizer. In 1939 Edwards was appointed director-secretary of the Detroit Housing Commission by Mayor Edward Jeffries. He was elected to the Detroit Common Council in 1941 at the age of 25. He was in the United States Army during World War II, from 1943 to 1946, primarily stationed in the Philippines. He received a Certificate of Completion from Detroit College of Law in 1944, and a J.D. from the same institution in 1949. Upon return from army duty, Edwards began his law practice and also returned to the common council and was elected president of the council that year. In 1949 Edwards ran for Mayor of Detroit but lost to Albert Cobo in a racially charged election in which Edwards stood up for equal rights for blacks and the protection of individual civil rights. Edwards continued serving as President of the Detroit Common Council from 1946 to 1950, and was also Chairman of the Detroit Election Commission from 1946 to 1950.
