Stennis: Plowing a Straight Furrow The Story of Statesman John C. Stennis

Upon the death of Theodore Bilbo in 1947, John Cornelius Stennis won a special election to fill Bilbo s U.S. Senate vacancy. In 1952, he won the general election and served in the senate for 41 years. Much of our state s progress is due to Stennis devotion to those who struggled to make a living he dedicated his entire working life to helping others. Despite his allegiance to Mississippians, his vision also encompassed both the nation and the world. Among his colleagues, Stennis was known as Mr. Integrity. He wrote the first Senate ethics code and cautioned unilateral entrance into the Vietnam Conflict. Stennis was also labeled the Father of America s modern navy. The supercarrier USS John C. Stennis was named in his honor. Stennis wanted his state and country to prosper and he believed in government of, by, and for the people. Dr. Donald Zacharias, President Emeritus of Mississippi State University, said of Stennis, We see qualities in your life that we want in our own lives. Life is better for each of us for what you have done.
