Steelman mocked the Klan's accusations, saying that they applied the term "communist agitator" to anyone they disliked. He warned the reasonable, responsible residents of Tuscaloosa that allowing the Klu Klux Klan to behave with impunity hurt the city's reputation. This article reflects a time in the south when people who advocated for social equality were branded Communists and persecuted.

His quick smile, his cheery greeting, and his sympathetic understanding has endeared him to the class as a whole. His boyish enthusiasm, his collegiate spirit, and his interest in us as individuals have made him not only a respected advisor but a genuine friend. Through the force of his own personality, he has projected himself into the progressive spirit of our student activities and organizations.” John R. Steelman clearly made an impact at Alabama College. Remarkably, he would become one of the most influential men in the United States government within ten years. https://carmichaeldigitalprojects.org/archivingmontevallo/files/original/29e0a35d6f0e5b007fdd394dbbd5d3d8.jpg 52600fcfd55fabc28a3320d7248d3b7e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Not an Armchair Scholar Description An account of the resource John Steelman grew at a time when mob violence directed at African Americans frequently erupted in the deep south. The issue deeply concerned Steelman and he made it the subject of his doctoral dissertation at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill: “A Study of Mob Action in the South” completed in 1928. Mob violence was something that he endeavored to understand and he believed it was important to speak with the perpetrators of such violence, but his opposition to lynching was not merely intellectual. When mobs threatened to kill someone Steelman would drive to the locale and speak with the principal actors. In Tuscaloosa he managed to secure the safe passage of a black man, Mr. Clarke, held at the jail who was in danger of being lynched. Steelman successfully negotiated his release from the Warden who allowed Steelman to drive Clarke to safety in Atlanta Georgia.

Before leaving town she asked him to come work for her in Washington.
