About Chauncey Sparks
George Chauncey Sparks, known as Chauncey Sparks, was an attorney and Democratic American politician who served as the 41st governor of Alabama from 1943 to 1947. He improved the state education of whites and expanded the state schools and centers for agriculture. He campaigned for passage of the Boswell Amendment to the state constitution, which was designed to keep blacks disfranchised following the US Supreme Court ruling Smith v. Allwright (1944) against the use of white primaries by the Democratic Party in the states.
