The article focuses on attorney C.B. King, the legal force of the Negro movement in South West Georgia. For years he has defended almost every voter registration worker and demonstrator arrested in Georgia. He filed the desegregation suit that with effect the integration of the first and second grades in Albany public schools next fall. He has a deep, rounded voice capable of sarcastic rises and confusing changes of pace. He has a prodigious vocabulary, a weapon forged on a peculiar battlefield. On April 4, he became the first Negro since Reconstruction to seek the Democratic nomination for Representative to U.S. Congress from Georgia's Second District.
