'''Carl Vinson''' (November 18, 1883 – June 1, 1981) was a U.S. [[representative]] from [[Georgia]] from 1914–65 and important member of the [[Conservative Coalition]]. A [[segregationist]], similar to many other [[Democrats]] of the time, Vinson was among those who signed the [[Southern Manifesto]] in opposition to [[Brown v. Board of Education]]. However, he is also remembered for having oversaw an expansion and modernization of the U.S. military, being known as "The Father of the Two-Ocean Navy".
