Profession

[Judge John Minor Wisdom]

I served as a judge for more than four decades on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. I was one of the so-called "Fifth Circuit Four" who played a pivotal role in enforcing the civil rights of racial minorities during the era of "Massive Resistance" to desegregation. I also, served the United States Army from 1942 to 1946 before I was a judge.
