Garland Gray (November 28, 1901 – July, 1977, nicknamed "Peck" after Peck's Bad Boy)[1] was a long-time Democratic member of the Virginia Senate representing Southside Virginia counties, including his native Sussex.[2][3] A lumber and banking executive, Gray became head of the Democratic Caucus in the Virginia Senate, and vehemently opposed school desegregation after the U.S. Supreme Court decisions in Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 and 1955. Although Senator Harry F. Byrd himself supported Massive Resistance, and preferred Gray over other candidates, the Byrd Organization refused to wholeheartedly support Gray's bid to become the party's gubernatorial candidate in 1957, so J. Lindsay Almond won that party's primary and later the Governorship.[4]
