Theodore Gilmore Bilbo

Theodore Gilmore Bilbo (October 13, 1877 - August 21, 1947) was an American politician. Bilbo, a Democrat, twice served as governor of Mississippi (1916 - 20, 1928 - 32) and later became a U.S. Senator (1935 - 47). A master of scathing filibuster and a "rough and tumble" fighter in debate, Bilbo became a synonym for white supremacy. He held unapologetic "anti-Negro" views and was a fiery defender of segregation. He was noted for his short stature (5'2" or 157 cm), wore flashy clothing, and was nicknamed, "The Man" because he tended to refer to himself in the third person
