		Winter is a man who has inspired, and enabled and cheer-led so many younger Mississippians as we try to pick up the torch he is passing us.
		Winter’s writings, past and present, are refreshing not because he has the answers, but because he is willing to ask the questions.

	ERA Amendment in MS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		As the most prominent woman politician in the state, Lieutenant Governor Evelyn Gandy was constantly asked about the ERA, and was very cautious: in 1976 she was quoted by The Clarion-Ledger as saying: “I personally favor it.
		William Winter, lieutenant governor from 1972 to 1976, and governor from 1980 to 1984, was an open supporter, but recalled later that he was unable to get any of the committees to send the amendment to the floor.
		It also made Mississippians, including the press and the politicians, even more aware of the strength and numbers of conservative women in the state which meant that the IWY conference probably did more harm than good for the ERA’s prospects in the state.

		A low-key but courageous progressive on racial issues, Winter, 61, became a populist hero by pushing through a sweeping 1982 education reform and tax bill that, among other things, makes it mandatory beginning in 1986 for local school districts to offer kindergarten classes.
