Born in Wrightsville, Georgia, Cook attended the public schools and received his undergraduate degree from Mercer University, followed by a law degree from Mercer University Law School in 1927.[1]
He was the Attorney General of Georgia from 1945 to 1965, and a justice of the Georgia Supreme Court.[2] He believed the NAACP was a communist organization.[3]
