text:
Rene A. Viosca was a justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court from 1959 to 1960. As a state court judge, in 1957, Viosca ruled in favor of boxer Ralph Dupas in a suit to establish Dupas' race, with Dupas contending that he was white, and therefore permitted to box white opponents in then-segregated Louisiana. Viosca ran for the Louisiana Supreme Court unsuccessfully, but was temporarily appointed to the court following the sudden death of Justice Amos Lee Ponder.
