Alabama Votes to Amend Constitution to Penalize Macon County
Voters approved a constitutional amendment empowering the legislature to abolish Macon County. The measure, championed by Sam Engelhart of the White Citizens Council, would redraw borders to detach Tuskegee Institute and the Tuskegee Veterans Hospital from Macon County, aligning the area with five white dominated counties. Many local leaders objected, including seven Macon County lawyers and the Tuskegee Civic Association which urged against the proposal.

Patterson named among ten outstanding young leaders
The Alabama Attorney General John Patterson is exposed as a stockholder in a small loan firm prosecuted for illegal practice. He faced criticism for questioning a Tuskegee colored boy to incriminate elders during a dispute over Black voters rights. Patterson had been honored as a top young leader by Jaycees, alongside Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
