This Week in U.S. Marshals History

President Washington Writes to Attorney General Edmond Randolph...on September 28, 1789, George Washington penned his thoughts on the new federal judicial system and the newly-created position of U.S. Marshal. He wrote that he was “impressed with a conviction that the due administration of justice is the firmest pillar of government...hence the addition of the fittest characters to execute the laws, and dispense justice, has been an invariable object of my anxious concern.”

Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy Praises Marshals...on September 30, 1962, after hearing reports of injury to 79 of 127 career deputies from riots at the University of Mississippi over the enrollment of Mr. James Meredith, Attorney General Kennedy expressed his pride in them. He said, “to hear these reports that were coming in to the President and to myself all last night...and these men, bravery–that was a very moving period of my life.”

James Meredith Begins Classes at the University of Mississippi...on October 1, 1962, escorted by deputy marshals. Afternoon classes were cancelled due to residual teargas. He was protected around the clock for the entire school year.
