The world mourns the passing of Earl Warren, Supreme Court Justice and former Governor of California, who died on July 9, 1974, at the age of 83. Born on March 19, 1891, in Los Angeles, California, Warren attended public schools and graduated from UC Berkeley Law School and was admitted to the bar in 1914. He was an Alameda County Deputy District Attorney from 1917 to 1920, and then District Attorney from 1920 to 1925. In 1925, he was elected California’s Attorney General. During his twelve-year tenure, he successfully sponsored a Family Court Act, popularly known as the Warren Act, giving minors speedy justice, and a Criminal Syndicalism Act, which made it illegal to advocate the overthrow of the government by force. In 1942, the Republican Party of California chose him as its gubernatorial candidate, in which he was victorious. Warren served three terms as Governor of California from 1943 to 1953 and was the first governor to order an end to segregation in state-supported public universities. He was very involved in making the Republican Party the majority in the state of California. In 1953, President Dwight D. Eisenhower appointed him to the United States Supreme Court, where he had a deep impact over the court’s decisions and emphatically pushed for civil rights laws. Earl Warren was a beloved husband, devoted father, and a respected public servant. He will be remembered for his dedication to justice and equality.
