Early life

Faubus was born to John Samuel Faubus and the former Addie Joslen in the Combs community near Huntsville in Madison County in northwestern Arkansas. Weighing just four pounds following a premature birth, Faubus stood out among others. According to his father, "Little Orval was different to most boys. Kids like to get into mischief, but all he ever did was read books. He never done anything if he couldn't do it perfectly. You'd never find a weed in his row of corn." Sam Faubus provided him with an early political education that would serve him for decades to come. During the early part of the century, socialist causes were popular in the rural mountains of Arkansas, and as a poor hill farmer, Sam Faubus became active locally in a number of movements. He formed a Socialist Party of America local among his neighbors and wrote lengthy essays for the Madison County newspaper. He publicly advocated women's suffrage and the abolition of the poll tax.

Faubus's first political race was in 1936 when he contested a seat in the Arkansas House of Representatives. He finished second in that contest. He was urged to challenge the result but declined, which earned him the gratitude of the Democratic Party.

When Faubus returned from the war, he cultivated ties with leaders of Arkansas's Democratic Party, particularly with progressive reform Governor Sidney Sanders McMath, leader of the post-war "GI Revolt" against corruption, whom he served as director of the state's highway commission. Meanwhile, conservative Francis Cherry defeated McMath's bid for a third term in the 1952 Democratic primary. Cherry became unpopular with voters, and Faubus challenged him in the 1954 primary.

The 1954 election cycle was a bitter one in which Faubus was forced to defend his attendance at a defunct northwest Arkansas school known as Commonwealth College as well as his early political upbringing. Commonwealth College had been formed by leftist academic and social activists, some of whom later were revealed to have had close ties with the Communist Party United States of America. Most of those who attended and taught there, however, were simply idealistic young people who sought an education or, in the case of the faculty, a job which came with room and board. Commonwealth College was founded in 1923 at New Llano Cooperative Colony in Louisiana. ... The Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA) is one of several Marxist-Leninist groups in the United States. ...

During the runoff, Cherry and his surrogates accused Faubus of having attended a "communist" school and implied that his sympathies remained leftist. Faubus at first denied attending, then admitted enrolling "for only a few weeks." Later, however, it was disclosed that he had remained at the school for more than a year, during which he was elected president of the student body. Faubus actually led a group of students who testified on behalf of the college's accreditation before the state legislature. Nevertheless, efforts to paint the candidate as a communist sympathizer backfired in a climate of growing resentment against such allegations. Faubus hence narrowly defeated Cherry to win the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. When Cherry died eleven years later, Faubus put politics aside and was magnanimous in his praise of his gubernatorial predecessor.

After he defeated Cherry, Faubus won a 63-37 percent general election victory over Pratt C. Remmel, the Republican mayor of Little Rock. Remmel, a businessman and scion of a prominent Republican family, polled the strongest vote for a GOP candidate since Reconstruction.

The political attacks of the 1954 election, though unsuccessful, seem to have made Faubus sensitive to attacks from the right.

Little Rock integration crisis

Faubus speaking to a crowd protesting the integration of Little Rock schools

Faubus' name became internationally known during the Little Rock Crisis of 1957, when he used the National Guard to stop African Americans from attending Little Rock Central High School as part of federally ordered racial desegregation. His strong stand on this issue may seem surprising considering Faubus' 1954 run for governor as a progressive candidate promising to increase spending on schools and roads. During the first few months of his administration, Faubus desegregated state buses and public transportation and began to investigate the possibility of introducing multi-racial schools.

However, by the start of 1957, Faubus had obtained legislative passage of a controversial tax in order to increase teacher salaries, and also faced an election challenge from James Douglas Johnson of Conway, the segregationist leader of conservatives within the Democratic Party in Arkansas. James D. Johnson was a former associate justice of the Arkansas supreme court and a two-time candidate for Governor of Arkansas. ...

Critics have long charged that Faubus' fight in Little Rock against the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that separate schools were inherently unequal, was politically motivated. The ensuing battle helped to shield him from the political fallout from the tax increase, and to diminish Johnson's appeal.

Faubus, facing pressure as he campaigned for a third term, decided to appease racist elements in the state by calling out the National Guard to prevent the black students from entering Central High. Arkansas Gazette executive editor Harry Ashmore (who won a Pulitzer Prize for his columns on the subject) portrayed the fight over Central High as a crisis manufactured by Faubus. Ashmore said that Faubus used the Arkansas National Guard to keep black children out of Central High School because he was frustrated by the success his political opponents were having in using segregationist rhetoric to stir white voters.

Faubus's decision led to a showdown with President Dwight Eisenhower and former Governor Sid McMath. In October 1957 Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas National Guard and ordered them to return to their armories which effectively removed them from Faubus's control. Eisenhower then sent elements of the 101st Airborne Division to Arkansas to protect the black students and enforce the Federal court order. In retaliation, Faubus shut down Little Rock high schools for the 1958-1959 school year. This is often referred to as "The Lost Year" in Little Rock. Dwight David Ike Eisenhower (October 14, 1890–March 28, 1969), American soldier and politician, was the 34th President of the United States (1953–1961) and supreme commander of the Allied forces in Europe during World War II, with the rank of General of the Army. ...

End of political career

Faubus was elected governor to six two-year terms and hence served for twelve years. He maintained a defiant, populist image while at the same time, he shifted toward a less confrontational stance with the federal government, particularly during the administrations of Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, with each of whom he remained cordial, and both of whom carried Arkansas. John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963), also referred to as John F. Kennedy, Kennedy, John Kennedy or Jack Kennedy, was the 35th President of the United States. ... “LBJ” redirects here. ...

In 1962, Faubus broke with the White Citizens Councils and other far-right groups, which endorsed U.S. Representative Dale Alford in that year's gubernatorial primary. Faubus cast himself as a moderate and barely secured a majority over Alford, McMath, and three other candidates. While still an outcast from black leaders, Faubus nevertheless won a large percent of the black vote (81 percent overall in 1964).

Faubus chose not to run for re-election to a seventh term in 1966. Former gubernatorial candidate Jim Johnson, by then an elected Arkansas Supreme Court justice, narrowly won the Democratic nomination over another justice, Frank Holt. Johnson was defeated in the general election by Republican reformer Winthrop Rockefeller, who became the state's first GOP governor since Reconstruction.

Wallace, Jr. However, in light of the public perception of both as segregationists, Wallace ended up selecting retired General Curtis LeMay.

Faubus lost considerable public support when he divorced his wife, the former Alta Haskins (August 31, 1912- August 9, 2002) after thirty-eight years of marriage.

Faubus sought the governorship again in 1970, 1974, and 1986 but was defeated in the Democratic primaries by Dale Bumpers, David Pryor, and Bill Clinton, respectively, each of whom went on to defeat Republican opponents. In his last race, 1986, Faubus polled 174,402 votes (33.5 percent) to Clinton's 315,397 (60.6 percent). 1970 (MCMLXX) was a common year starting on Thursday. ... 1974 (MCMLXXIV) was a common year starting on Tuesday. ...

Faubus' decline occurred when the Democrats reformed their own policies in response to public acceptance of the progressive polices followed by Rockefeller. Thus, a new generation of popular Democratic candidates easily contrasted themselves favorably in voters' minds with Faubus' old-style politics.

Final chapter

In the aftermath of his divorce, Faubus's financial position had deteriorated to the point where he was forced to accept a position as a teller at a local bank in Huntsville and to sell his home. He also sold copies of his scrapbook-style memoirs that he entitled Down From the Hills. The residence, a rambling modern ranch "mansion" built on Governor's Hill overlooking Huntsville, had been financed by "contributions" from state employees, contractors doing business with the state, and Hot Springs gambling interests.

In the summer of 1981, Governor White appointed Faubus to head the scandal-plagued Arkansas Veterans Affairs Department, an agency which assists returning veterans in getting resettled. The appointment, recommended by White's appointments secretary, Len E. Blaylock, drew questions from some former Rockefeller Republicans, such as National Committeewoman Leona Troxell. Conservative Republicans tended to support White's decision, perhaps hoping that Faubus would bring his reduced band of voters into the GOP. Pratt Remmel said that he would not have made the appointment of his former political rival but supported White's judgment.

Faubus also suffered a number of personal tragedies over the next decade. His only child, son Farrell (April 5, 1939 - June 1976), was found dead of a suicidal drug overdose in Seattle, Washington. Farrell attended Arkansas Tech University in Russellville, where he met and married, at the age of twenty in 1959, the former Martha Jo Culwell (born ca. 1940). He thereafter graduated from the University of Arkansas Law School and was an assistant Arkansas attorney general in the early 1960s, prior to moving to Washington State.
