A LION when it came to defending and standing up for HIS people!
Alabama State Representative Alvin Holmes was a man of towering stature and moral acclaim; he held visceral convictions on injustices of every kind. Representative Holmes particularly abhorred racial discrimination in any form. His prominence came about because of his unfaltering willingness to loudly express, peacefully protest; and adopt an oppositional position that illuminated inequities, racism, and discrimination embedded in Public Policy and codified in State Law.Â
His feats required courage on many levels. Nevertheless, Representative Holmes was a catalyst for economic equality, social-change, and political reverence. His voice will forever ring in the hollow halls of the Alabama State Legislature and may his legacy infinitely endures in the hearts and minds of his constituents, students of Alabama State University that inured the benefits of his professorship and inspiration, and those individuals who endeavor to embark upon representing the people in his likeness and spirit.... We extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Alabama State Representative Alvin Holmes. May the grace of God comfort you during these very difficult times. Â
Spiritually Yours, Marvin and LaDonna Rudolph Montgomery County Board of Education Bullock County Board of Education
