Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fair. First Edition. First Printing. 24 cm. xiv, 354 pages. Illustrations Editor's Note by Paul R. Baier. Appendix: The Opinions of Hugo Lafayette Black. Index. DJ soiled, DJ edges worn and small tears. Foreword by Justice William. J. Brennan. Inscribed by the co-author (Mrs. Black). Hugo Lafayette Black (February 27, 1886 - September 25, 1971) was an American lawyer, politician, and jurist who served as a U.S. Senator from 1927 to 1937 and as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1937 to 1971. A member of the Democratic Party and a devoted New Dealer, Black endorsed Franklin D. Roosevelt in both the 1932 and 1936 presidential elections. Having gained a reputation in the Senate as a reformer, Black was nominated to the Supreme Court by President Roosevelt and confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 63 to 16 (six Democratic Senators and 10 Republican Senators voted against him). The fifth longest-serving justice in Supreme Court history, Black was one of the most influential Supreme Court justices in the 20th century. He is noted for his advocacy of a textualist reading of the United States Constitution and of the position that the liberties guaranteed in the Bill of Rights were imposed on the states ("incorporated") by the Fourteenth Amendment. Black wrote the majority opinion in Korematsu v. United States (1944), which upheld the Japanese-American internment that had taken place. Black opposed the doctrine of substantive due process and believed that there was no basis in the words of the Constitution for a right to privacy, voting against finding one in Griswold v. Connecticut (1965). In 1957, Hugo Lafayette Black, associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, set Washington tongues a-wagging by marrying his secretary, Elizabeth Seay DeMeritte. Black was then 71 years of age; DeMeritte was 49, and not only young enough to be his daughter but also a divorcee. The marriage proved to be one of the great love stories of the century. She encouraged him to write his memoirs. He began the task in 1968 and, by the time of his death in 1971, had accounted for approximately half of his stormy, productive years. Using the great justice's unfinished manuscript as a starting point, Elizabeth then set out to construct a permanent memorial to his work and to their life together. Mr. Justice and Mrs. Black is the gratifying result of her efforts. Like the marriage it celebrates, the book is a charming blend of two distinct but complementary voices. The first voice, true to its author, is powerful, sage and direct. Hugo Black confesses his inauspicious beginnings as the son of a storekeeper and a postmistress in Clay County, Ala.; his early, misguided desire to be a doctor; and his receipt of a law degree from the University of Alabama at the green and guileless age of 20. Black's voice throbs with the idealism of the young attorney who hung out his shingle in the racially fractured city of Birmingham, rose to prominence as an unabashed defender of the rights of black persons, and eventually settled on public service as his proper calling. The next two sections of the book, written by Elizabeth Black, pick up her husband's story and intertwine it with her own. Here the book takes on a more personal voice, disarming in its simplicity and straightforwardness. We have heard the details of the story before, but never from one so close to Hugo Black. The telling, coming as it does from the justice's soul-mate, bears repeating. The legacy of Hugo Black is clear. As much as any other justice who ever sat on the Supreme Court, he was responsible for ensuring a coherent system of constitutional law in this country, a system that has come to include the judicial enforcement of legislative reapportionment, of desegregation, and of the separation of church and state. What has been less well known about Black, at least until now, is the passionate, vigorous interplay between his public and private worlds. We never knew, for example, that he often stayed awake half.
