Timeline

1925

Donald Howard Yarborough (December 15, 1925 – September 23, 2009) was an American Democratic politician who was among the first in the U.S. South to endorse the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

1950

He earned his law degree from the University of Texas School of Law in 1950.

Shortly after earning his law degree, Yarborough re-entered the Marine Corps to serve during the Korean War as a member of the Judge Advocate General's Corps.

He then returned to Texas to establish his own law firm and take part in civic affairs.

1956

In 1956, as president of the Houston Junior Chamber International, Yarborough won the national debating championship for the organization.

1960

In 1960, Yarborough married his first wife, Katherine Edwards.

In his first run for political office, Yarborough ran in 1960 for Texas lieutenant governor.

Yarborough was married three times: to Katherine Edwards Yarborough in 1960, to Gail Lind in 1978, and Houston realtor Charity O'Connell Yarborough in 1984.

1962

Yarborough, an attorney in Houston, Texas, ran for governor of Texas in 1962, 1964, and 1968.

Yarborough was born in New Orleans, Louisiana.

His father was the president of a bank in New Orleans that went bust during the Great Depression, so Don was sent to Mississippi temporarily.

His father eventually got a job with the government and moved the family to Washington, D.C. His family also spent time during the years after the depression living with relatives in Coral Gables, Florida.

The family eventually moved together to Houston when he was twelve years of age.

His mother, Inez Black Yarborough, served as head of the Women in Yellow volunteer corps at the Jefferson Davis Hospital in Houston.

Upon graduating from San Jacinto High School at seventeen, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, entered officer's training school, and became a company commander at the age of nineteen.

He served one year in China at the close of World War II.

After the war, Yarborough enrolled at the University of Texas at Austin, at which he belonged to Kappa Alpha fraternity, and worked part-time to supplement the money he received under the G.I. Bill of Rights.

In 1962, he ran for the first time for governor, and in a field of five Democratic candidates, he reached a run-off with John Connally and came within 28,000 votes of winning the nomination, a nationally noted near-upset in a state long dominated by the conservative faction of the Democratic Party.

1963

In 1963, Yarborough was named by Life magazine as one of the 100 young Americans who were "distinguished by their dedication to something larger than private success, because they had the courage to act against old problems, the boldness to try out new ideas, and a hard-bitten, undaunted hopefulness about man."

After leaving politics, Yarborough worked as a lobbyist for the Paraplegia Cure Research in Washington, D.C., where he lived on Capitol Hill and in McLean, Virginia.

He also played a role in the Council for a Livable World and was a founding member of biotech research companies.

1964

He ran for governor again in 1964 and 1968.

In political life he supported civil rights, economic justice, environmental protection, and women's equality, and challenged the business establishment within Texas politics.

2009

Yarborough died of Parkinson's disease on September 23, 2009.
