ES-8916E James Terry Sanford  (August 20, 1917 – April 18, 1998) was an American lawyer and politician from North Carolina . A member of the Democratic Party , Sanford served as Governor of North Carolina  from 1961 to 1965, was a two-time U.S. presidential candidate  in the 1970s, and served as a U.S. senator  from 1986 to 1993. He was a strong proponent of public education and introduced several reforms and new programs in North Carolina's schools and institutions of higher education  as the state's governor. From 1970 to 1985, Sanford served as the president of Duke University . Born in Laurinburg, North Carolina , Sanford became a Federal Bureau of Investigation  special agent  after graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill  in 1939. During World War II  he joined the United States Army  and saw combat in the European Theater . Following the war, Sanford attended and graduated from the University of North Carolina School of Law  and began a legal career in the late 1940s, soon becoming involved in politics. He served one term in the North Carolina Senate  and managed W. Kerr Scott 's U.S. Senate campaign in 1954 before running for governor in 1960. Focusing on improving education and economic opportunity, he defeated segregationist I. Beverly Lake, Sr.  in the Democratic primary and was subsequently elected governor in the general election. Taking office in 1961, he pushed a controversial tax increase through the state legislature to double public spending on schools and created a commission to study further education. Growing increasingly anxious about opportunities for black students, he became the first Southern  governor to call for an end to racially discriminatory employment practices in 1963 and used law enforcement to protect civil rights  demonstrators. He also created the North Carolina Fund  to alleviate poverty and lobbied for a major environmental research facility to be located at the Research Triangle Park . Leaving the governorship in 1965, Sanford remained active in Democratic Party politics and engaged in the practice of law before being hired as President of Duke University in 1970. While there, he increased the school's fundraising, managed student protests, and created new institutions to study public policy issues. Retiring in 1985, he successfully ran for a U.S. Senate seat the following year. In Congress he maintained a liberal  voting record, cofounding the International Commission for Central American Recovery and Development , objecting to the passage of a Flag Desecration Amendment , and criticizing American involvement in the Gulf War . Defeated in a bid for re-election in 1992, he spent his later years practicing law, writing, and teaching at Duke before he died of cancer in 1998. He is remembered in North Carolina as the "education governor" and served as a role model for several other Southern governors.
