Few states have had as colorful a history as Alabama. Some of the most colorful figures have been figures in government and politics such as George Wallace, Big Jim Folsom, Lister Hill, Frank M. Johnson Jr., and Howell Heflin. Then there are others like Rankin Fite, Roger Bedford, Paul Hubbert, Bill Baxley, John Patterson, Fob James, Albert Brewer, and recently, Mike Hubbard and Robert Bentley.
