This photo was likely the signing of a bill by Gov. Wallace in 1971 that provided for re-distribution of taxes to the local municipalities on beer sales in Tuscaloosa and Northport. All men pictured were in government as well as being businessmen. A Tuscaloosa News article on July 4, 1971, mentions the legislation and discusses that all of the individuals who are in the photograph had to agree to get the legislation passed.
