- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about Cecil Alexander. Alexander is an Atlanta, Georgia architect and civic leader. As a partner in the prominent architectural firm FABRAP, he was responsible for some of the city's most notable public buildings. During the civil rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s, he was a leader in the movement to peacefully desegregate the city's public housing and local businesses. He also designed a new state flag that removed one of the last symbols of Georgia's racially divided past.
