He founded the "Arkansas State Press" newspaper with his wife in 1941. He was an active member of the NAACP and was one of the plaintiffs in the Supreme Court case "Cooper v. Aaron", which was filed by the NAACP so the decision made by the court in the "Brown v. Board of Education" case would be properly enforced.
