William Bradford Huie (1910–1986), author and journalist, is widely recognized as among the chief correspondents to bring attention to the civil rights struggle in the South.

Born in Hartselle, Alabama, Mr. Huie served in the U. S. Navy in World War II and afterwards was the editor and publisher of the American Mercury. His articles appeared regularly in national magazines and he was a host for the CBS television program, Chronoscope, a precursor to 60 Minutes.
