James Oliver Eastland (November 28, 1904 – February 19, 1986) was an American attorney, plantation owner, and politician from Mississippi. A Democrat, he served in the United States Senate in 1941 and again from 1943 until his resignation on December 27, 1978. Eastland was a segregationist who led the Southern resistance against racial integration during the civil rights movement, often speaking of African Americans as "an inferior race". Eastland has been called the "Voice of the White South" and the "Godfather of Mississippi Politics".
The son of prominent attorney, politician, and cotton planter Woods Eastland, he attended the local schools of Scott County, Mississippi, and took courses at the University of Mississippi, Vanderbilt University, and the University of Alabama. He completed his legal education by studying in his father's office, attaining admission to the bar in 1927. Eastland practiced law in Sunflower County, Mississippi, and took over management of his family's cotton plantation. Becoming active in politics as a Democrat, he served in the Mississippi House of Representatives from 1928 to 1932.
When Senator Pat Harrison died in office in 1941, the governor appointed Eastland to fill the vacancy on the condition that Eastland not run in that year's special election to complete the term. Eastland served from June to September 1941. The special election was won by Wall Doxey. Eastland went on to defeat Doxey in the 1942 primary for the Democratic nomination for a full term. The Democratic Party was then essentially the only party in Mississippi, assuring Eastland's return to the Senate in January 1943. Eastland was reelected five times, serving until resigning in December 1978, days before the end of his final term. Eastland advanced through seniority to the chairmanship of the Senate Judiciary Committee, serving over 20 years, and President pro tempore of the Senate.

He Leadeth Me
In pastures green?
Not always;
sometimes He
who knoweth best,
in kindness leadeth me
In many ways where
heavy shadows be.
Out of the sunshine
warm and soft and bright...
Out of the sunshine
into the darkest night,
I oft would faint
with sorrow and affright,
Only for this...I
know He holds my hand;
so whether in the
green or desert land
I trust although I
may not understand.
And by still
waters?
No, not always so;
Ofttimes the
heavy tempests round me blow,
And o'er my soul
the waters and billows go.
But when the storms
beat loudest and I cry
aloud for help, the
Master standeth by
And whispers to my
soul, "Lo, it is I."
Above the tempest
wild I hear Him say,
"Beyond this
darkness lies a perfect day.
In every path
of thine I lead the way."
So whether on the
hilltops high and fair
I dwell, or in the
sunless valleys where
The
shadows lie...what matters? He is there.
And more than this,
where'er the pathway lead
He gives to me no
helpless broken reed,
But His own hand,
sufficient for my need.
So where He leads
me, I can safely go,
And in the blest
hereafter I shall know
Why in His wisdom,
He hath led me so.
