Big Jim Folsum: The Two Faces of Populism
VHS, 85 min., 1996
A profile of the two-term Alabama governor from the 1940’s and 1950’s. A homespun champion of the common man, Folsum was among the most progressive of Southern governors in the 1940’s and refused to pander to racism as the storm of desegregation hit the South in the 1950’s.
