Description
During the meeting the Board examined a report prepared by the Department of Public Safety on Dr. Lawrence D. Reddick, a professor at Alabama State College who had led students in a civil rights demonstration in March. Governor Patterson recommended that Reddick be dismissed from the school immediately, and only one board member disagreed: "In explaining his vote, Mr. Robert R. Locklin stated that he did not believe that any teacher or public official should be fired without a hearing and an opportunity to defend his record." The governor then suggested that Dr. H. Councill Trenholm, president of Alabama State College, prepare files on all the school's employees, to be presented at the next meeting of the Board; he also asked the members to "give serious consideration to replacing Dr. Trenholm as President of the College."
