Hugo Black #76 (1886-1971)

Hugo Black was Franklin Roosevelts first selection to go to the Supreme Court. A State Senator and he had been so for 10 years. He supported Roosevelts “New Dear” It wasn’t an easy selection but the fight realized a successful result. Out of the skirmish a strict constructionist was born and, in that manner, Black earned the respect of all that second guessed him and predicted his performance.
