C'mon. You can think of (or see as worth mentioning) only three "highly intelligent Alabamians," all white?

Let me suggest natives of the state this post might have mentioned:

Jesse Owens, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Rosa Parks, Claudette Colvin, Coretta Scott King, John Lewis, Bryan Stevenson, the Tuskegee Airmen, the 40,00 participants in the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and many, many others less famous.
