William Moore McCulloch

William Moore McCulloch (November 24, 1901 – February 22, 1980) was a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Ohio.
McCulloch was born near Holmesville, Ohio. He attended the College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio. He graduated from the college of law of Ohio State University at Columbus, Ohio, in 1925. He was admitted to the bar the same year and commenced practice in Piqua, Ohio He was a member of the Ohio House of Representatives from 1933 to 1944, serving as minority leader from 1936 to 1939 and as speaker from 1939 to 1944. He served in the United States Army from December 26, 1943, to October 12, 1945.
McCulloch was elected as a Republican to the Eightieth Congress, by special election, on November 4, 1947 to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Robert Franklin Jones. He was re-elected to twelve consecutive Congresses.
==Fight for civil rights==
As the ranking member of the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee, William McCulloch took a leading role in the civil rights movement. He introduced civil rights legislation months before Kennedy presented his act to congress. This was politically imprudent, considered by some to be even political suicide. Representative McCulloch had only a few of African-American constituents and so few votes to gain from introducing or supporting civil rights legislation. McCulloch's influence with the Civil Rights Act led President John Kennedy to declare, "Without him it can't be done." McCulloch was recognized by Kennedy's successor, Lyndon Johnson, under whom the act was passed, as "the most important and powerful political force" in passing the Act.
Todd Purdum, in his history of the civil rights era ''An Idea Whose Time Has Come'', said in an interview:
() had been distressed when then Senate Majority Leader Johnson watered down civil rights bills in 1957 and 1960 to make them practically unenforceable. McCulloch was the ranking minority member of the House judiciary committee, and he told the Kennedy Administration that he would back a strong bill in the House – and urge his fellow Republicans to follow suit – but only if the White House agreed not to trade away the bill's strongest provisions in the Senate, and also agreed to give Republicans equal credit for passing it.〔Purdum, Todd S., and Cullen Murphy, ("The Battle to Pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964" ), ''Vanity Fair'', March 31 2014.
