      Location: Virginia Historical Society, 428 North Boulevard, Richmond, Virginia 23220

      Description: FitzGerald Bemiss (1922-2011) was a member of the Virginia General Assembly, serving in both the House of Delegates (1955-1959) and the Senate (1960-1967).

In the 1956 session of the general assembly, Bemiss voted with the majority in support of a resolution of "Interposition." This doctrine asserts that individual states have the power to declare a decision of the Supreme Court unconstitutional until the issue is settled through the amendment process. As a member of the Gray Commission on Public Education, Bemiss supported "local option," was opposed to massive resistance, and approved of Lindsay Almond's "freedom of choice" compromise. Series 1: General Assembly. House of Delegates. 1955-1959, contains "Interposition" materials, including the editorial series by James J. Kilpatrick in the Richmond News Leader, Gray Commission materials, and correspondence with Harry Flood Byrd, Sr.
