Phenix Sin City of the South and the Negro Apostolate Divine Savior

Phenix City, Alabama used to be ground zero for organized crime in the south.  You can look it up, and even though the city has tried hard to make you forget it, the stories persist.  Shooting, prostitution, gambling, bootleg liquor... and most of it there because the army trained thousands of hormone-filled young men nearby at Fort Benning, a considerable naive market for the criminal to prey on.  How many towns are called "The Wickedest city in the United States" even taking into account that cesspool of smut up north called Calumet?  (Heh Heh...Calumet.  Sin City and Phenix of the north!)  There have even been movies and songs written about Phenix, and a famous fictional guy named Maggot was from there!

Well, it is no wonder the African-American population chose another course for their children.  Mother Mary Mission and her Negro Apostolate of the Divine Savior.  It is still a happening place, and they even have a Facebook page.
