When one reads the history of the state of Alabama, "courageous
judicial decisions" appears to be an oxymoron because there have
not been many such decisions. Most that did occur were related in
some fashion to the racial problems that have existed in Alabama
from the very beginning of statehood. It is important that we
understand just what we mean when we speak of courage. Sustained
courage emanates from character, which in itself takes a lifetime
to build. Courage can be defined as the moral strength that permits
one to face fear and difficulty. Courage requires a certain amount
of leadership, and this leadership behavior is admirable and
excellent. Making judicial decisions that changed ways of living in
Alabama during the days of segregation required courage. These
decisions could have severe consequences for one's safety and could
affect one's family. Yet despite the potential consequences, there
were at least four judges in Alabama who made decisions based on
what they thought was the right thing to do and would lead Alabama
in the right direction. The judges whose names come immediately to
the forefront are George Stone, Thomas G. Jones, James E. Horton
Jr., and Frank M. Johnson.
