Biographical Information

Otis James Goodwyn (O.J.) was born on December 15, 1920, at Warrior Hospital in Cullman County, Alabama. The son of Andrew Sylvester and Thela Quattlebaum Goodwyn, O.J. was raised on a farm near Sipsey in Walker County. Goodwyn worked raising and selling vegetables, and with his father in a blacksmith shop in Sipsey. Goodwyn later worked summers in the local coalmines in the area during high school. Following his graduation in 1939 from Walker County High School in Jasper, Alabama, Goodwyn attended the . Goodwyn worked his way through as a furnace stoker in the University's central heating plant. Goodwyn also practiced barbering "unofficially" before being forced to stop, following complaints by local barbers that he was undercutting their prices and their business.

After this graduation with a bachelor's degree of science in Commerce and Business Administration, Goodwyn entered the army sometime in 1943. Goodwyn was stationed at Fort Warren, Wyoming, where he served as a demolitions instructor. While stationed at Fort Warren, Goodwyn met and married Mary Chalmers Hair of Sheridan, Wyoming. They were married on April 11, 1945. The Goodwyn's were to have two children-Otis James Jr. born on May 26, 1947, and Susan Anne born on February 9, 1949. Upon the end of the war, the Goodwyn's returned to the University of Alabama where O.J. was admitted into law school. While studying law, Goodwyn was employed by the law library and by the National Youth Administration as an interviewer. After serving as president of his class, Goodwyn received his Juris Doctorate in 1949.

The Goodwyn's moved to Montgomery, where Goodwyn began his legal career by serving as staff attorney for the State Department of Industrial Relations. A great deal of his work involved unemployment claims. In 1951, Goodwyn joined with Maury Smith to establish a private practice. William Bowman later joined the firm. To supplement his income, Goodwyn taught at Jones Law School during its evening sessions. An interest in government drew Goodwyn into politics. He was elected to the of

Representatives in 1954, and was re-elected in 1958 and 1962. His work as a representative for Montgomery earned him the recognition of his peers and the press. Goodwyn was voted the "Outstanding Freshmen Representative" by the Alabama Press Association in 1955. In 1959, he was recognized as the hardest working member of the House. In 1965, Goodwyn was recognized as the House's outstanding member.

Goodwyn's legislative career was heavily tied to education, along with unemployment and worker's compensation issues. In 1955, Goodwyn authorized an amendment to the state constitution that would have increased taxes in support of public education. In spite of support from Governor James Folsom, the voters soundly rejected the amendment. During the first administration of (1963-67), Goodwyn served as floor manager in the House. Goodwyn coordinated and promoted the administrations legislative wishes. In 1966, reapportionment resulted in two places for Montgomery County in the State Senate. Goodwyn ran and was elected to one of the newly created seats. His term in the State Senate coincided with the term of Governor . With the endorsement of both Governor Wallace and her husband/former governor, Goodwyn was selected as president pro-tempore of the State Senate. Following the death of Governor Wallace on May 7, 1968, Goodwyn became acting lieutenant governor when became .

Throughout his legislative career, Goodwyn maintained his legal practice with Smith and Bowman. During his re-election campaigns, a significant amount of criticism was directed at Goodwyn for the amount of state business that came the way of his firm. Goodwyn, however, was not the only member of his firm with political connections. Maury Smith served as campaign manager for Lurleen Wallace in 1966. Goodwyn's political connections along with his friendly gregarious manner resulted in his being elected as president of the Montgomery Bar Association in 1964. During Goodwyn's career in the State Senate, he maintained his interest in education and worker's compensation. Following his first term, Goodwyn ran for election as lieutenant governor in his own right. defeated him. Goodwyn was honored, however, by a senate resolution recognizing his fairness and leadership abilities during his Senate service. After his defeat in the lieutenant governor race, Goodwyn was named legal counsel for the Alabama Education Association on February 1, 1971. In 1972, Goodwyn was stricken with Lou Gehrig's Disease. Following surgery for an ulcer, Goodwyn succumbed to the effects of the disease and died on July 26, 1973.

Scope and Contents 5

Otis James Goodwyn Papers

The collection contains correspondence, case files, legislation, publications, newspaper clippings, reports, lectures, proclamations notes, speeches and photographs pertaining to O.J. Goodwyn's legislative career. The materials within the collection date primarily from 1952 until 1970, though there are some exceptions on items from 1930 to as late as 1995.

The papers covering Goodwyn's legislative career pertain primarily to the years during his service as President Pro Tempore of the State Senate. However, documents covering his service in the House sate back to the 1950s are included. Goodwyn's interest in education is well documented in this collection. Of particular interest are the files relating to education, and specifically those pertaining to Goodwyn's 1955 constitutional amendment permitting increased taxation in support of education. Also of note is Goodwyn's involvement with and membership in educationally-focused groups such as the Alabama Educational Study Commission and the Southern Region Education Board.

Materials relating to the civil rights are rather limited. Apart from individual letters in the correspondence files, the majority of information relating to Goodwyn's involvement with Civil Rights can be found in the newspaper clippings files, specifically in the files on Desegregation and Macon County (see also the legal file on the City of Montgomery vs. Montgomery City Lines case). Goodwyn was involved with legislation to establish a “whites only” bus line as a result of the success of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Goodwyn was also involved in a conference with Federal Judge Frank M. Johnson concerning a segregated bus line, although his involvement is only briefly mentioned in newspaper clippings.

Goodwyn's involvement with Macon County and Civil Rights also appears only in clippings, and not in documents in the collection. Goodwyn was appointed to a committee to monitor the situation in Macon County and to consider dissolving the County to prevent a black majority. While some of Goodwyn's activities appear to paint him as a racist patina, it should also be noted that Goodwyn was also a supporter of legislation prohibiting discrimination based upon race in public education. In addition to civil rights, general political matters are missing from the collections. While Goodwyn has correspondence from Govs. Folsom, Persons, Patterson, Wallace and Brewer, all cover general matters. The lack of detailed correspondence from the Wallace's is particularly interesting, given the prominence in which Goodwyn displayed in both their administrations.

Perhaps the areas in which the most information can be gleaned on Goodwyn's political opinions can be found in the general correspondence files. These files contain letters on a variety of subjects, ranging from

personal, to political, to legislative. The letters provide examples of the community opinions on important legislative issues. Again, it is interesting to note the lack of correspondence focusing upon the civil rights issues in this portion of the collection.

Final items of interest are the files on Auburn University at Montgomery. Goodwyn sponsored the legislation creating a four-year college in Montgomery that became AUM. Introduced in the waning days of the 1967 legislative session, Goodwyn guided the legislation through in only five days. The materials in the subject file include correspondence from local Chamber of Commerce leaders and President Philpott of Auburn University.
