  • Mclemore Preliminary Pages DISSERTATION NOVEMBER 2012
    The Second Reconstruction in Local Politics: Alabama Grassroots Activists Fulfilling the Promise of the Voting Rights Act, 1960-1990 by Lawrence Underwood McLemore A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama December 8, 2012 Keywords: Voting Rights Act, political activists, black suffrage, Alabama, Alabama Democratic Conference Copyright 2012 by Lawrence Underwood McLemore Approved by David C. Carter, Chair, Associate Professor of History Charles A. Israel, Associate Professor of History Kelly Kennington, Assistant Professor of History Abstract In arguing that historians expand the timeline for what is considered the modern civil rights movement, this dissertation examines how grassroots Alabama activists affiliated with the Alabama Democratic Conference carried the struggle for political equality forward on the local level after the enactment of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. This dissertation also argues that Alabama voting rights activists understood that change begins at the local level, and employed the Voting Rights Act in dismantling a variety of racially discriminatory laws and customs that governed political and electoral practices in their state. Many narratives of civil rights struggles have focused on national figures and institutions, such as Dr. Martin Luther King, President Johnson, the Congress, and the U.S. Supreme Court. This dissertation focuses, instead, on the local citizen-activists in Alabama who won hard-fought victories in voting rights by collaborating and utilizing connections with powerful leaders and institutions. Between 1960 and 1990, Alabama Democratic Conference activists succeeded in enfranchising most black citizens of Alabama. In the process, these political activists transformed Alabama’s politics and the state electorate.

  • March 30, 2020 Governor Kay Ivey State
    March 30, 2020 Governor Kay Ivey State Capitol of Alabama 600 Dexter Avenue Montgomery, AL 36130 Dear Governor Ivey: We are legal academics and former law-enforcement officials from the State of Alabama. We write to urge you in the strongest possible terms to reduce the number of prisoners in Alabama prisons before the current coronavirus outbreak creates a public-health catastrophe. While others have provided input for reducing intake into Alabama’s jails and prisons and for reducing the prison population without increasing risk to the community, we write to address a specific, limited issue: the state’s backlog of potential parolees. The Board of Pardons and Parole already faces a crushing backlog of cases1 and has recently canceled hearings scheduled through April 30.2 Given existing overcrowding in Alabama prisons,3 a failure to start releasing prisoners eligible for parole could lead to countless unnecessary illnesses and deaths. We urge you to order the Board to resume parole hearings on an expedited basis, using appropriate social distancing measures such as video and telephonic participation in the hearings. The Board should prioritize the release, if necessary into 14-day quarantine, of prisoners age 50 and over and those with compromised immune systems. The nation faces an unprecedented public health crisis due to the coronavirus outbreak. Inmates in Alabama prisons are at particular risk for the spread of the disease. First, prison life makes it impossible to practice the social distancing that all experts agree is essential to stopping the spread of the virus.4 To make matters worse, Alabama prisons are the most overcrowded in the nation, with most prisoners packed together in 1 Mike Cason, “Paroles Bureau Director Graddick has contentious exchange with lawmakers,” al.com (Jan.

Abstract From 1876 until 1964, the Democratic Party held virtual dictatorial control over the American South. Beginning after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and that year’s presidential candidacy of anti-Civil Rights Act Republican Barry Goldwater, the South shifted reliably into the Republican column for presidential elections. Democrats still held a majority of all other offices in the region until the mid-1990s. This paper examines public opinion data in the American South, as well as partisan change in four Southern states, with an emphasis on the first time each state elected a Republican governor. I find that in each state, local issues played a major role in the election of the first Republican governor, and that one or several powerful statewide Democrats could stave off the party’s decline in the state.

Kritzer* INTRODUCTION In my book Justices on the Ballot: Continuity and Change in State Supreme Court Elections, I examined patterns in state supreme court elections from 1946 through 2012 with some footnotes updating through 2014.1 In the book I discussed patterns of contestation and competition, patterns of partisanship in voting, television advertising (starting in 1999), and campaign contributions (starting in 1990). I found surprisingly little change in contestation and competition other than in southern states, a mixed pattern of change in partisanship in voting, an increase in the volume of television advertising but a stable pattern in the tone of that advertising (which differed sharply from advertising in presidential, congressional, and gubernatorial elec- tions), and an increase in campaign contributions. In this Article, I will update my analysis to include the 2013 through 2016 elections and use the updated data to compare the patterns of the 2010s to earlier periods.
