Mississippi Senator Hillman Frazier, JD '74, has spent more than three decades in state legislature. The Jackson Free Pressprofiles Senator Frazier's tenure spent preserving Mississippi's civil-rights history through the legislative process. His accomplishments include sponsoring a resolution to recognize Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday as a state holiday, travelling to South Africa to monitor the nation's first post-apartheid election in 1994, and authoring a bill to formally adopt the 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and abolish slavery in Mississippi.
