Biographical History

Hugh Bentley, a Phenix City, Ala. native, grew up around the rampant vice, crime, and corruption which characterized Phenix City in the first half of the twentieth century, but experienced a religious conversion as a young man and eventually became a leader in organizing citizens' efforts to improve conditions in the town. Mr. Bentley also ran unsuccessfully for local office. Mr. Bentley, his son, and several of their associates were threatened and attacked for their stance against crime and corruption.
