Description

This is a newspaper article from 1964, in which Bob Carl Bailey nominated John K. Christmas to the Madison County Republican committee. Both Bailey and Christmas were black police officers who had recently been fired by the city of Huntsville for insubordination, an allegation that was likely based on racial animosity.
