Abstract
In this recording, Joseph Langan is interviewed by Nahfiza Ahmed about race relations and the Civil Rights Movement in Mobile, Alabama. Mr. Langan reflects on his understanding of a cultural distinctiveness to Mobile in contrast to the rest of Alabama, and suggests a correlated historical difference in the tenor of race relations that was impacted by an influx of more northern Alabamians into Mobile during World War II. He discusses some of the forms of segregation and structural racism prevailed in Mobile in the early and mid-20th century, and some of the political and legal battles surrounding segregation and integration in Mobile and the wider state of Alabama. He also discusses his political career at the time amidst those battles.
