Guide to the Lambert C. Mims Papers Guide to the Lambert C. Mims Papers Descriptive Summary: Creator: Lambert C. Mims, 1930-2008 Title: Lambert C. Mims Papers Dates: 1820-2003 (bulk 1965-1989) Quantity: 160.5 linear feet Abstract: Papers agendas, audio tapes, books, campaign material, correspondence, flyers, legal material, magazines, maps, negatives, news clippings, notes, pamphlets, photographs, plaques, reports, slides, speeches, and video tapes. Covers a multitude of local subjects typically found within such political collections. Accession: 06-09-459 ; 459-2006 Biographical Note: Lambert C. Mims was born in 1930 in Uriah, Alabama. He moved to Mobile, Alabama, in 1949 and worked as a salesman before co-founding, a year later, a feed company, and, in 1965, branching out on his own. Lambert Mims was public works commissioner and rotating mayor of Mobile from 1965 to 1985. During Mims' time as mayor/commissioner, the city of Mobile experienced the latter part of the modern civil rights movement, completed the Bayway, and unveiled the George C. Wallace Tunnel. It opened Mobile Greyhound Park and saw the Southern Market/City Hall designated a national historic landmark. It reconstructed and opened Fort Condé and celebrated the nation's bicentennial. It witnessed the devastating destruction of hurricanes Camille and Frederic and saw the first oil well drilled in the bay. It witnessed the completion of the I-65 link across the Mobile-Tensaw Delta and celebrated the opening of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. When first elected, Mims was the youngest city commissioner in Mobile's history. Upon leaving office, Governor George Wallace appointed Mims as his ambassador to the Alabama Waterways Development Agency, a position he held from 1985 until March 1987, and one in which he promoted the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. In 1990, a federal jury convicted Mims on two counts of extortion in connection with racketeering under the Hobbs Act. He served several years in federal prison before being released. Prior to his conviction, Lambert Mims was president of the American Public Works Association (1979-1980). He is also the former director of the Men's Ministry for the Mobile Baptist Association, and the former president of both the Alabama Baptist Brotherhood and the Alabama Baptist State Convention. He has served as president of the advisory board for the Waterfront Rescue Mission and of the Masonic Breakfast Club. In addition, he has been a member of the Kiwanis Club of West Mobile and a deacon at Riverside Baptist Church. Mims has been featured in Baptist Men's Journal, Contact, Moody Monthly, The Deacon, Grit, APWA Reporter, Solid Waste Management, and Vital Speeches. Lambert Mims died in 2008. Scope and Contents: Contains agendas, audio tapes, books, campaign material, correspondence, flyers, legal material, magazines, maps, negatives, newsclippings, notes, pamphlets, photographs, plaques, reports, slides, speeches, and video tapes. Includes material on Mims’ unsuccessful run for the United States Senate in 1972. Covers a multitude of local subjects typically found within such political collections, including information on the area airports, on housing, on the city’s 275th anniversary celebration, and on the aftermath of Hurricane Frederic. Of particular interest within the collection are the files related to the devastating flooding that hit Mobile in 1981 and to local events during America’s bicentennial celebration of 1976. Other material worthy of note are documents related to Dads Against Dirt, a state- wide anti-pornography group headed at one time by Mims. Other interesting files relate to civil rights, including a 1981 report discussing race relations in Mobile written by Mims; information on Wiley Bolden v. City of Mobile, which changed the city’s form of government; the Glenn Diamond mock-lynching-police-brutality case; the Neighborhood Organized Workers; the Mobile Area Committee for Training and Development; job discrimination; police profiling; and free speech. In addition, includes material on Mims’ attempt to establish a resort in the delta region of Mobile Bay, on the 2002 United States senatorial campaign of Julian L. McPhillips Jr., on urban renewal, and on flood control. Also consists of files regarding Mims’ 1990 indictment and conviction for violating the Hobbs Act in regard to a proposed garbage-to-steam energy plant to be built in the city of Mobile. Dads Against Dirt was a state-wide organization formed in 1970 by various church laymen. Its goals were to fight the spread of pornographic material and to strengthen laws against pornographic distribution. The last correspondence from the group is dated 1973.

Arranged alphabetically by subject and covers virtually everything directly related to Mims’ work as mayor and/or public works commissioner.

This sub-series contains not only Mims’ official speeches as mayor/commissioner but also those related to his personal religious beliefs, to his campaign against obscenity, and to the American Public Works Association. Mims often reused a speech for particular engagements (such as delivering remarks at a church). Researchers should also look in the Speaking Engagements sub-series of the Personal series for material related to speeches (for example, an invitation to speak at such and such church). Series 1. Sub-series C. Civil Rights, 1967-1972, 1977, 1979, 1981. 1 cubic foot.

  • 2019 Annual Report
    TEXT FROM THE PRESIDENT & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR On behalf of the Dog River Clearwater Revival (DRCR) Board of Directors and our contracted staff, we thank everyone who, for the past twenty-five years, shared their time and resources with DRCR. Celebrating a quarter-century of promoting, protecting and improving the water quality of and access to Dog River and its urban tributary creeks was a significant milestone in the organization’s history. Most notable in our 2019 anniversary year was the award of a $328K EPA/Gulf of Mexico Program grant for implantation of the Comprehensive Trash Abatement Program for the Dog River Watershed. Identified as a priority project in the Dog River Watershed Management Plan (WMP) released in 2018, the problem of litter in our waterways brought us together in partnership with the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program, Mobile Baykeeper and Partners for Environmental Progress in a plan to reduce litter in the river by fifty percent by the end of 2021. We’d also like to thank the City of Mobile, Council and Administration, for supporting the goals of the WMP and our EPA grant. Further, this project allowed DRCR to expand our part-time paid team to two with the addition of an assistant project director. As we enter 2020, we look forward to an exciting year. We’ll hosts more cleanups and other fun events like the spring Mudbottom Music Festival and the Great Drift Paddle along the Dog River Scenic Blueway, celebrating its tenth year. The fall will see another of our popular events celebrating its 10th anniversary – the Dog River Fishing Tournament and of course don’t miss the one time a year opportunity to run/walk across the iconic Dog River Bridge during our annual Ghost Chase 5K & 1-mile Goblin Gallop.

Hutchisson Jr. In addition, the collection is made up of a wide selection of correspondence, both business and private, contracts, building specifications, blueprints, and other related architectural documents.
