Charles Morgan, Jr. was an American attorney, well-known for his work during the civil rights era, causing many whites to dislike him. His most famous case was Reynolds vs. Sims, in which the apportionment of the Alabama Legislature was challenged. The U.S. Supreme Court had ruled for Morgan, so the state was to recreate their voting districts to be "more equitably apportioned." With this, the voting power had shifted from the rural areas and gave more representation to African Americans. This decision, along with others, influenced the establishment of the legal doctrine of "one person, one vote" and lessened voting discrimination in the South. Among his other works, Morgan fought to desegregate his alma mater, the University of Alabama, coerced a new election in Greene County, Alabama, resulting in the "election of six black candidates for local offices . . . and successfully challenged racially segregated juries and prisons."
