Friendship can be a very powerful thing. It can empower an individual and redirect their life and sometimes it can reshape the fabric of an entire community. Today’s podcast has two subjects because it is impossible to cover one of these individuals without talking about the other. Almeron Whitehead and George Mitchell met at work in their late teens and they were inseparable for over 60 years until they died… and even then, their burial plots at Greenwood Cemetery here in Birmingham are right next to each other.
