Bot-created subpage[edit]

A subpage at James Lindsay Almond Jr./fjc was automatically created by a perl script, based on this article at the Biographical Directory of Federal Judges. The subpage should either be merged into this article, or moved and disambiguated. Polbot (talk) 12:26, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The FJC bot-page was deleted. JohnnE (talk) 18:24, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Governor James Lindsay Almond biography[edit]

1. Information in right hand box: I think you will find that the Lt. Gov. was Allie Edwards Stakes (not Stokes) Stephens. 2. Under Political heading, 3rd paragraph. Verb "heading" needs to be changed to "heeding".66.87.2.55 (talk) 13:18, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Moved here from a help page.--Wehwalt (talk) 13:58, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be moving it shortly, thanks. Dru of Id (talk) 14:16, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I found Lt. Gov Stephens' archived collection, http://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaead/published/odu/vino00007.document, which I've added to his article and moved. Thanks. Dru of Id (talk) 14:40, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-neutral point of view[edit]

From the current article:

"One of his notable accomplishments as Governor was ending massive resistance against the desegregation of schools, in opposition to other high-profile southern politicians, such as Virginia Senator Harry F. Byrd and Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus. Heeding the advice of several within his own party, including Senator Mosby G. Perrow, Jr., Almond realized that opposition to desegregation was ultimately futile as the state continued to lose in the courts; when Virginia's Stanley plan, the package of laws which implemented massive resistance, were declared unconstitutional he changed the state's policy, adopting the proposals of the Perrow Commission, and thereby earned the wrath of the Byrd Organization."

This is all ostensibly true, but may be misleading in that it seems to suggest Almond's goal was desegregation, which it was not. The Perrow Commission, whose proposals Almond adopted, had the express purpose of resisting desegregation, just not on a state level: "The Commission is opposed to integration and offers the program set out herein because it thinks it is the best that can be devised at this time to avoid integration and preserve our public schools." (from the Perrow Commission Report). I suggest a wording change. It might be too much to say his accomplishment was "ending massive resistance in favor of local resistance", but I don't think it would be inaccurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.232.13.135 (talk) 18:38, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
