Benjamin Hooks Death, Civil Rights Legend Laid To Rest At 85
Benjamin Hooks, inspirational speaker, defender of minorities and the poor, and legendary director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), died Thursday, April 15 at his Nashville, Tenn., home following a long illness. He was only 85. A journey that began when he was segregated in the south is ended by Hook’s death. Hooks was a Baptist minister and lawyer known for boosting membership in the NAACP and turning it into a relevant political force. After advocacy his whole life for the downtrodden, he was given the award of the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2007.
Benjamin Hooks and his biography
Benjamin Hooks biography began Jan. 31, 1925, in Memphis, Tenn. He attended LeMoyne College in Memphis. After serving three years in the Army during World War II and rising to staff sergeant. Nashville blogger Tom Humphrey reports that Hooks' inspiration to fight social injustice and bigotry stemmed from his experience of guarding Italian prisoners of war while serving overseas in the Army during World War II . When he was barred for them, foreign prisoners were allowed to eat in “for whites only” restaurants. He earned a law degree in 1948 after no law school in South would admit him and he used his GI bill to attend DePaul University in Chicago. He opened a law practice in his hometown of Memphis later. While practicing law in Memphis, he married Frances Dancy in 1951.
Benjamin Hooks and his Career Highlights
In Benjamin Hook’s biography, it shows he was a Baptist minister. He was the leader of two churches. He was appointed a criminal court judge as the first black person appointed to the bench in Tennessee. He was also the first black man named to the Federal Communications Commission, appointed by President Richard M. Nixon in 1972. While he was a businessman, he owned a few fried chicken franchises in Memphis. In 1976, he led the NAACP organization through some of its greatest challenges. "Black Americans are not defeated," he told Ebony Magazine soon after his induction. "The civil rights movement is not dead. If anyone thinks that we are going to stop agitating, they had better think again. If anyone thinks that we are going to stop litigating, they had better close the courts. If anyone thinks that we are not going to demonstrate and protest, they had better roll up the sidewalks."
Benjamin Hooks Legacy
In 1992, Benjamin Hooks resigned from the NAACP as his influence declined. His other achievements included serving as chairman of the board of directors of the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis and the creation of The Benjamin L. Hooks Institute for Social Change at the University of Memphis. He is survived by his wife, Frances, and a daughter, Patricia Gray.
