Frank G. Clement was born on June 2, 1920 in Dickson, TN. After graduating from Dickson County High School, Cumberland University, and Vanderbilt University Clement worked as an FBI agent for a year. Then he enlisted in the US Army at the height of World War II in 1943. He eventually became a first lieutenant and the commanding officer of his battalion.

After he left the Army, he worked for the Tennessee Railroad and Public Utilities Commission for four years then spent time as a lawyer and an alternate delegate to the Democratic National Convention.

In 1952, he won the Democratic nomination for governor despite his opponent calling him a "pipsqueak." He won the election in 1953, becoming the youngest governor in the nation.

Clement was Governor of Tennessee from 1953-1959, then again from 1963-1967. His accomplishments in office included ordering schools to uphold the Brown v. Board of Education decision and sending the National Guard to protect the first African American students attending Clinton High School amid protests.

Clement lost his reelection campaign in 1966 to our neighbor, Howard Baker, Jr. After his loss, he was still recognized for his dedication to many organizations including the Country Music Association.

Clement died in 1969 at the age of 49 after a car accident in Nashville. However, his legacy lives on in many universities throughout the state including UT Martin, Tennessee Tech, Tennessee State, Austin Peay, and, of course, UT Knoxville. (Wikipedia)
