Born in or near Hermondale, Missouri, he graduated from Lincoln University with a bachelor's of science degree and a Doctor of Laws in English degree.

J. Bernard Banks entered the Missouri House of Representatives in 1969. He was elected to the Missouri Senate in 1976. In the 1970s, Banks also led legislation to merge Harris-Stowe, a financially-struggling historically black St. Louis college, into the state higher education system. Banks sometimes changed suits several times a day as a way to be flamboyant.

Banks resigned in December 1999 due to ill health and three months after he pleaded guilty to filing false state income tax returns, a felony for which he received five years probation, 300 hours of court-ordered community service, and a prohibition from holding any elected or appointed office while on probation. In 2003, he died at a Las Vegas hospital's emergency room of natural causes at the age of 79.^[1]
