The Southern Committee on Political Ethics
Speaker(s): Brooks Hays, Tom Radney, Del Shields (host)
Description: Lawrence Brooks Hays (1898-1981) was a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives from the State of Arkansas and a former President of the Southern Baptist Convention. After losing his congressional seat, Hays became a professor of political science at Rutgers University and a visiting professor of government at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He served as director of the Ecumenical Institute at Wake Forest University from 1968-1970. On this radio program, he spoke as head of the Southern Committee on Political Ethics, an organization partially inspired by opposition to Governor George Wallace. The organization worked for voter education and against racism. The second guest is John Tomas Radney (1932-2011) - a lawyer and Democratic State Senator from Alabama. He resigned from the state office because of threats to his family when he would not back George Wallace at the 1968 Democratic National Convention. He later returned to politics. The hope of both guests and callers was that voters rights would improve and politics would tilt toward equality.Length: 58:13
