John Shelton Wilder
John Shelton Wilder (June 3, 1921 – January 1, 2010) was an American politician who was the 48th Lieutenant Governor of Tennessee from 1971 to 2007,〔(Tennessee Senate ), ''Tennessee Blue Book 2007–2008'', page 28〕 possibly the longest time anyone has served as Lieutenant Governor or a similar position in the history of the United States.〔http://www.articlearchives.com/government/elections-politics-politics/738138-1.html〕 He was a Tennessee state senator from 1959 to 1961 and again from 1967 to 2009.
==Early life and education==
Wilder was from Fayette County, near Memphis. He was from an affluent family with extensive agricultural and agribusiness interests. He attended Fayette County Public Schools and received an undergraduate degree from the University of Tennessee College of Agriculture and a law degree from Memphis State University, now the University of Memphis.〔
He and his family were known for fairer dealings with black farm employees and tenants than was typical of the area during the segregation era. This fact served him very well upon entering into elective politics at about the time that Tennessee blacks in rural areas were first being allowed their constitutional rights to participate in political decisions which had been guaranteed under the Tennessee and federal constitutions but previously unenforced. Wilder was also a prominent attorney in Somerville, the county seat of Fayette County.
Wilder married his wife Marcelle in 1941 and served in the U.S. Army during World War II.〔
