Description
"For the Love of Alabama" is a compilation of the most poignant and trenchant writing--editorials, reportage, and columns--by two of Alabama's most committed and reform-minded journalists. Ron Casey and Bailey Thomson both died young: Casey at forty-eight and Thomson at fifty-four. Nevertheless, through their work at the "Birmingham News" and the "Mobile Press-Register," respectively, they labored tirelessly to illuminate and confront the state's chronic and interrelated problems of race, government, education, and poverty.
