Lawrence Brooks Hays (August 9, 1898 – October 11, 1981), often referred to as L. Brooks Hays or simply Brooks Hays, was a Democrat segregationist from Arkansas who represented the state's 5th congressional district from 1943 to 1959. In the late 1950s, he was also the president of the Southern Baptist Convention.[1]
U.S. House of Representatives
Hays was first elected to the United States House of Representatives in the 1942 midterms,[1] and re-elected numerous times.
In 1949, Hays introduced the "Arkansas Plan" which advocated for providing blacks in the South certain civil rights and voting rights guarantees, though did not address segregation.[1] Indeed, Hays was a signatory to the 1956 Southern Manifesto in opposition to the United States Supreme Court ruling Brown v. Board of Education, which he denounced.
