More on Albert Brewer
Description from Wikipedia:
Albert Preston Brewer (born October 26, 1928) is an American politician who was the governor of Alabama from May, 1968 until January, 1971.
Brewer was born in Bethel Springs, Tennessee. Prior to his election as lieutenant governor, he served three terms in the Alabama House of Representatives from Morgan County from 1954-1966. During the last of these terms 1962-1966 Brewer, at age 34 became the Speaker of the Alabama House of Representatives, the youngest person in state history to hold this post. Originally an ally of George Corley Wallace, Jr., Brewer ran for lieutenant governor in 1966 when Wallace's wife, Lurleen Burns Wallace was the Democratic nominee for governor.
Brewer led Wallace in the Democratic primary but failed to win an outright majority. He then faced Wallace in a runoff. Wallace, running an unapologetically dirty campaign, made slurs about Brewer and his family and made openly racist appeals to white voters. Wallace narrowly won the Democratic election. He later won the gubernatorial election, over his Republican opponent.
After years of private law practice, Brewer served as Distinguished Professor of Law and Government at Samford University's Cumberland School of Law. He currently teaches a course on Professional Responsibility at the Cumberland School of Law. He has also been an active leader with the Alabama Citizens for Constitutional Reform since 2000.
Albert P. Brewer High School in Eastern Morgan County is named in honor of Brewer. The school opened in 1972. Its patriot mascot is named Preston, after Governor Brewer's middle name.
