Timeline

1901

William Moore McCulloch (November 24, 1901 – February 22, 1980) was an American lawyer and politician who served as a Republican U.S. Representative for Ohio's 4th congressional district from 1947 to 1973.

McCulloch was born near Holmesville, Ohio on November 24, 1901 to James H. and Ida M. McCulloch.

1923

He graduated from the College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio in 1923.

1925

He graduated from the college of law of Ohio State University at Columbus, Ohio, in 1925.

He was admitted to the bar the same year and commenced practice in Piqua, Ohio with George Barry.

1927

On October 17, 1927, McCulloch eloped with Mabel Harris in Covington, Kentucky.

They had two daughters, Nancy and Ann.

1933

He was a member of the Ohio House of Representatives from 1933 to 1944, serving as minority leader from 1936 to 1939 and as speaker from 1939 to 1944.

During his tenure in the House of Representatives, the black population in Piqua was 2.7% and a majority of his constituents were white conservatives, yet he began supporting equal rights and the NAACP identifying the Civil Rights movement with its goals of Constitutional rights.

1943

He served in the United States Army from December 26, 1943, to October 12, 1945.

During his tenure in the Army, he served as a captain in the Military Government Forces in Europe.

1947

McCulloch was elected as a Republican to the Eightieth Congress, by special election, on November 4, 1947, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Robert Franklin Jones.

He was re-elected to twelve consecutive Congresses.

1957

[McCullough] had been distressed when then Senate Majority Leader Johnson watered down civil rights bills in 1957 and 1960 to make them practically unenforceable.

McCulloch was the ranking minority member of the House judiciary committee, and he told the Kennedy Administration that he would back a strong bill in the House – and urge his fellow Republicans to follow suit – but only if the White House agreed not to trade away the bill's strongest provisions in the Senate, and also agreed to give Republicans equal credit for passing it.

McCulloch voted in favor of the Civil Rights Acts of 1957, 1960, 1964, and 1968, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Open Housing Act of 1968.

1959

In 1959 he became the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee until his retirement in 1973.

He also held seats on the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, the Joint Committee on Immigration and National Policy, and the Select Committee on Small Business.

1961

Throughout his career, McCulloch was a conservative, as demonstrated by his low Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) scores, notably receiving a 0% from the organization in 1961, and a 100% rating from the Americans for Constitutional Action.

With time, McCulloch moderated his views, being one of six Republican representatives from Ohio to support the Medicare program for the elderly.

1963

His introduction of a comprehensive civil rights bill in 1963, for example, together with representatives John Lindsay of New York and Charles Mathias of Maryland, put pressure on President John F. Kennedy to present his own act to Congress several months later.

He had few African-American constituents and so had few votes to gain from introducing or supporting civil rights legislation.

McCulloch's influence with the Civil Rights Act led President John F. Kennedy to declare, "Without him it can't be done."

McCulloch was recognized by Kennedy's successor, Lyndon B. Johnson, under whom the act was passed, as "the most important and powerful political force" in passing the Act.

Todd Purdum, in his history of the Civil Rights Era, An Idea Whose Time Has Come, said in an interview:

1965

During his time in office, the 4th Ohio Congressional District included the counties of Allen, Hardin, Mercer, Auglaize, Darke, Shelby, Miami, Preble and a part of Montgomery and he won 65-70 percent of the votes in each election.

He was a fiscal conservative and would return the unused office allowance to the U.S. Treasury at the end of each term.

1967

In 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed him to the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders and in 1968 the Presidential Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence (Eisenhower Commission).

As the ranking member of the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee, William McCulloch took a leading role in the civil rights movement.

1968

He also was supportive of the Gun Control Act of 1968 and the Comprehensive Child Development Act of 1971 that was vetoed by Nixon.

Much like his friend and collaborator in civil rights legislation, New York Democrat Emmanuel Celler, McCulloch opposed the Equal Rights Amendment.

1970

In 1970, he opposed the Nixon administration's efforts to weaken temporary provisions in the 1965 Voting Rights Act regarding voting rights of Black southerners.

Despite his leadership to pass the civil rights acts, McCulloch did not have many votes to gain from his constituents but rather felt that it was his obligation to implement Constitutional rights.

1971

In 1971, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis wrote a letter to McCulloch, crediting him as being one of the most important people for the civil rights legislation in the 60s.

1972

He was not a candidate for re-election in the 1972 election to the Ninety-third Congress and instead resumed the practice of law in Piqua, Ohio.

1980

McCulloch died on February 22, 1980, in Washington, D.C. due to a heart attack.

He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery with his wife.

In the film All the Way, Congressman McCulloch is portrayed by Dan Desmond.

2010

In early 2010, McCulloch was proposed by the Ohio Historical Society as a finalist in a statewide vote for inclusion in Statuary Hall at the United States Capitol.

2017

McCulloch was the subject of the JFK Profiles in Courage 2017 winning essay by student Daud Shad.
