4. Biographical Sketch (Cont.) Haynsworth began his apprenticeship as a judge on the Fourth Circuit under a master, Chief Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina. Haynsworth was primarily a judge in cases that revolved around labor, and civil rights matters. Haynsworth gained the reputation of being a legal craftsman and a hardworking jurist on an efficient court. Haynsworth was appointed to the chief judge position in 1964. Because of this promotion, Senator Ernest Hollings, a Democrat of South Carolina, saw to it that Haynsworth was a good nominee for the vacancy of the Supreme Court. Later, Haynsworth's profile was recommended to president Nixon, whom tried to get him elected to the Supreme Court, which was denied. Haynsworth was never elected to Supreme Court, because they believed he was not fit for the job, and found information that stated Haynsworth was trying to hold onto segregation and labor which showed a lack of ethical standards, and quickly got him ejected. Along with illegal investments for future stock options. Haynsworth returned to Greenville, and lived the rest of his life out as the chief judge of Greenville County. Haynsworth died on November 22nd 1989 from a heart attack. His death was almost 20 years to the day of his rejection by the senate. He is now buried at Springwood Cemetery in Greenville.

6. Haynsworth Jr. Federal Building In return of Clement Haynsworth’s life-time effort of making Greenville, South Carolina, and the U.S a better country, the city named their new Federal Building after him for recognition. On May 4th, 1983, Greenville’s new building the Clement F. Haynsworth Jr. Federal Building opened. However, during the speech Haynsworth presented the crowd, he apologized for the reason of why he was rejected from the U.S Supreme Court. “The last victim of a mindless bullet in the air since Appomattox.” This was stated by his life long friend, and author, John P. Frank, saying that Haynsworth was not a man of unjust morals, he was simply supporting segregation after the battle for integration had practically been won. Though he was never elected to the Supreme Court, his life long achievements which will be thankful for years to come earned him a permanent spot that is set in stone in Greenville.

7. Simulated Interview Mr. Haynsworth’s response to how he felt about Greenville: “I was born here, my roots are here. Greenville is an ideal place to live and Greenvillians are fine people. I didn’t want to go to the District of Columbia. I much preferred to stay here, and so did my wife.” Haynsworth’s thoughts after being denied from Supreme Court, initialized by his views of integration.: “ I wasn’t very happy with it, of course. What happened was we had a terrible practical problem. You couldn’t jump from complete segregation to complete integration in a moment. The critics felt I didn’t press forward as rapidly as they might have hoped.” Clement F. Haynsworth Jr.'s feelings about Greenville public schools: “Somebody must be doing something right. That’s what a Greenville housing official said about the unusually large number of outstanding alumni of Greenville public schools. For a ‘who’s who’ look at the alumni of national and international renown.”
