The Legacy of Albert Patterson

The podcast discusses the remarkable legacy of Albert Patterson, the first recipient of the Albert Patterson Courage Award. In the 1950s, Phoenix City, Alabama, was rife with corruption until Patterson stood up against the mob-controlled institutions. He bravely campaigned for attorney general to restore integrity and justice, but paid the ultimate price for his courage when he was assassinated. His actions, however, led to significant reforms as the governor instituted martial law to clean up the city, and his son eventually became governor, continuing the fight for justice.
