- Homer Martin Adkins (October 15, 1890 – February 26, 1964) was an American businessman and Democratic politician who served as the 32nd governor of the U.S. state of Arkansas. Adkins is remembered as a skilled retail politician and a strong states' rights proponent and social conservative who served as governor during a period when Arkansas departed from several national economic and societal trends. The Adkins administration fought federal influence in Arkansas during the post-New Deal era; successfully courting federal wartime production investment during World War II while battling the federal resettlement of Japanese-Americans in the state and Supreme Court civil rights decisions. The Adkins administration was in several ways a forerunner to years of segregationist governors in Arkansas and across the South, most famously Alabama Governor George Wallace. The former Ku Klux Klan member fought the post-World War II civil rights gains made by African-Americans and sought to organize a constitutional convention to restore the white primary after the Supreme Court's Smith vs. Allwright decision. Derided as "Holy Homer" by opponents, Adkins' strong brand of social conservativism earned formidable opposition from moderates and more progressive politicians like preceding governor-turned rival Carl E. Bailey, as well as the pro-gambling interests in the resort town Hot Springs. After leaving office, Adkins remained an influential voice in state politics, assisting later governors Sid McMath and Orval Faubus. (en)

- Homer Martin Adkins, född 15 oktober 1890 i Pulaski County i Arkansas, död 26 februari 1964 i Hot Spring County i Arkansas, var en amerikansk demokratisk politiker. Han var den 32:a guvernören i delstaten Arkansas 1941-1945. Adkins deltog i första världskriget i USA:s armé och befordrades till kapten. Han gifte sig 18 december 1921 med Estelle Elise Smith. Han var sheriff i Pulaski County, Arkansas 1923-1926. För att få Ku Klux Klans stöd i valet gick han med i den illa beryktade men politiskt inflytelserika rasistiska organisationen. Inom demokraterna i Arkansas blev Adkins en mäktig motståndare till guvernör Carl Edward Bailey. Han lyckades 1937 förhindra Baileys ambition att bli senator genom att stödja John E. Miller i stället. Adkins var Hattie Caraways kampanjchef i senatsvalet 1938. Adkins besegrade Bailey klart i demokraternas primärval inför 1940 års guvernörsval. Han vann sedan lätt mot republikanen H.C. Stump i själva guvernörsvalet. Två år senare bestämde sig republikanerna att inte alls utmana Adkins i guvernörsvalet. Under Adkins tid som guvernör lyftes Arkansas ut ur depressionen tack vare kriget som resulterade i omfattande federala investeringar i delstatens militärindustri. Delstatens budget visade snart ett överskott. Guvernör Adkins varken rökte eller drack alkohol och var starkt emot hasardspel. Han hade en rasistisk linje och tyckte illa om att USA:s regering under president Franklin D. Roosevelts ledning förbjöd rassegregeringen inom militärindustrin. Adkins stödde 1943 en lag i Arkansas mot japanernas äganderätt. I Arkansas fanns två interneringsläger för japaner, Jerome och Rohwer. Adkins bestämde sig för att utmana Hattie Caraway i primärvalet inför 1944 års senatsval. Kongressledamoten J. William Fulbright besegrade både Caraway och Adkins i primärvalet och vann sedan själva senatsvalet. Adkins grav finns på begravningsplatsen Roselawn Memorial Park i Little Rock. (sv)
