Shelby M. Jackson
Shelby Marion Jackson (November 20, 1903 – January 25, 1972)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shelby Marion Jackson )〕 was a Democrat who served from 1948 to 1964 as the superintendent of public education in Louisiana. In the early 1960s, Jackson tried in vain to block federally authorized school desegregation. Jackson was posthumously honored in 1994 by the naming of the "Shelby M. Jackson Memorial Campus" of Louisiana Technical College in Ferriday.
==Background==
Jackson was a native of rural Monterey in Concordia Parish in eastern Louisiana. He held both Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge.〔''Minden Herald'', January 5, 1956, p. 10〕 A former educator, Jackson was elected four times as his state's school superintendent. In his first election in 1948, Jackson ran on the unsuccessful Sam Houston Jones gubernatorial slate but he managed to unseat the incumbent superintendent, John E. Coxe.〔''Minden Herald'', January 16, 1948, p. 1〕 In 1956, he defeated two primary rivals to gain his third term. In his last reelection on April 17, 1960, he overwhelmed the first Republican ever to seek the Louisiana superintendency, Donald Emerich, a professor at Centenary College in Shreveport. Jackson polled 86.7 percent of the two-party vote, to Emerich's 13.3 percent.〔Louisiana Secretary of State, Election Returns, April 17, 1960〕 Jackson became well-known politically through his tenure as superintendent. For sixteen years, every child's report card in the state bore Jackson's stenciled signature. By the end of his fourth term as superintendent, the state had gained 340,000 more pupils than it had in 1948.〔
Jackson, as superintendent, advocated increased state spending on education to avoid dependence on federal financing. In a 1962 address in Minden, he said that inadequate financing and federal control of education were great dangers to public schools. He said that local administrators should not be burdened with finances but instead focus their time on strengthening instruction. He claimed that the interest group, the NAACP, followed 14-point goals set by the Communist Party of the United States. "It is important that we unite, work on this problem together, and return to constitutional government. We must do everything we can to place the United States first over all other nations and maintain our sovereignty."〔"Senatorial Candidate Plans Appearance Here", ''Minden Herald'', September 27, 1962, pp. 1, 14〕
