Collection Description

Introduction

James Lindsay Almond, Jr., was born June 15, 1898, in Charlottesville, Va., the son of Lindsay and Eddie Nicholas (Burgess) Almond. At an early age his family moved to a farm in rural Orange County, Va. Almond entered the University of Virginia in 1917 as a member of the Student Army Training Corps but withdrew a year later and consequently served for a year as principal of the Zoar High School near Roanoke, Va., 1921-1922. He then entered the University of Virginia School of Law and earned his law degree in 1923. He had been admitted to the Virginia Bar in 1921. He was in private practice as a lawyer in Roanoke, Va., 1923-1932, and quickly became known for his handling of criminal cases. A Democrat, Almond's interest in politics began in his teens. His involvement with Democrat Harry Flood Byrd began in 1925, when Almond made several speeches in support of Byrd's gubernatorial campaign.

With Byrd's help, Almond was appointed assistant Commonwealth's attorney for the city of Roanoke, 1930-1933, and a judge of the Roanoke Hustings court, 1933-1945. He was later appointed to the 79th U.S. Congress and elected a member of the 80th U.S. Congress. The Virginia Democratic Party, led by Harry F. Byrd, asked Almond to step down from his Congressional seat and run for attorney general of Virginia, to which position he was elected in 1948. He served in this office until 1957, at which time he resigned to run for governor of Virginia.

Both his campaign for and service as governor were dominated by Virginia's response to the Supreme Court's school desegregation edict. As governor, he inherited a program of "massive resistance" designed to halt school integration by erecting a series of defensive obstacles. Realizing the movement was doomed and if continued would potentially destroy the Commonwealth's educational system, in January 1959 Almond admitted defeat and established a commission to develop a plan for the integration of Virginia's public schools. Almond's reversal on this issue cost him the support of the Harry F. Byrd and his many supporters.

Following Almond's term as governor, he was appointed by President John F. Kennedy as an interim judge of the U.S. Court of Customs and Patent Appeals, Washington, D.C. With U.S. Senator Harry F. Byrd on the Senate Judicial Committee, it took much campaigning on the part of Almond's friends and supporters to secure his official appointment to this post in 1963. He served as a member of this court until his retirement in 1986.

J. Lindsay Almond married Josephine Katherine Minter (1901-1992) in 1925. A native of Roanoke, Va., Mrs. Almond attended Elizabeth College in Salem, Va., and received her bachelor's degree in 1923 from Wittenberg University in Ohio. The Almond's had no children, but raised Mrs. Almond's orphan nephew, Lewis S. Minter, from infancy. Mr. Almond died April 14, 1986, and is buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Roanoke, Va.

The J. Lindsay Almond papers were given to the Virginia Historical Society in 1992 as the gift of the estate of Josephine (Minter) Almond, through the courtesy of Lewis S. Minter.

Lindsay Almond, Jr.: The Politics of School Desegregation," in Edward Younger, ed., The Governors of Virginia, 1860-1978 ( Charlottesville, University Press of Virginia, 1982); and Ben Beagle and Ozzie Osborne, J. Lindsay Almond: Virginia's Reluctant Rebel (Roanoke, Va., Full Court Press, Inc., 1984).

SERIES DESCRIPTIONS

Section One. Correspondence, 1925-1983 (ca. 1,000 items).

Non-official correspondence of J. Lindsay Almond, Jr., chiefly as governor and while he was seeking a federal judgeship. Correspondents are listed below. Subjects mentioned include concerns of constituents; recommendations of persons for appointments by various state and local officials; the attempt on Almond's life in April 1959; Almond's stand on school desegregation (see the correspondence of Alburtis S. Harrison, Jr., Charles L. Lady, and Sydney F. Small); and the efforts of Almond's supporters to get him a position on the U.S. Court of Patent Appeals (see the correspondence of George Edward Allen (1885-1972), Miner Carl Andrews, Lester R. Bachner, Harry Flood Byrd (1887-1966), James O. Eastland, Charles Rogers Fenwick, Eppa Hunton IV, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Robert Francis Kennedy, Marvin E. Nuckols, Jr., and A. Willis Robertson). This appointment was blocked for almost a year by U.S. Senator Harry F. Byrd, a member of the Senate Judicial Committee, who had broken with Almond over the latter's apparent reversal of his support of school desegregation and the policy of "massive resistance." Also included is scattered family correspondence, chiefly concerning the health of Almond's mother, Edmonia Nicholas (Burgess) Almond (d. 1966).
