George W. Albright (1846-?) was an American farmer, teacher, politician and former enslaved person from Mississippi. Albright, a Republican, served in the Mississippi State Senate from 1874-1879 during the Reconstruction Era and immediately afterward. He represented Marshall County, Mississippi. In 1873, Albright defeated E. H. Crump, a leader in the Ku Klux Klan, for the seat in the State Senate.
Albright was born a slave in Mississippi and worked as a field hand. His father, who was sold to an owner in Texas shortly before the American Civil War, joined the Union Army and was killed in Vicksburg, Mississippi. During the War, Albright was a member of the Union League, which promoted loyalty to the Republican Party and spread news of the Emancipation Proclamation among still enslaved people. After the war, he attended school run by Northerner and sheriff Nelson Gill, who was later killed by the Ku Klux Klan.
Albright married a white teacher and became a teacher as well. Albright narrowly escaped being murdered himself by the Klan as well. Following the murder attempt, Albright moved to Chicago, Kansas and later Colorado. In 1937, he was interviewed by the newspaper the Daily Worker, where he praised the Communist Party USA for nominating a black man, James W. Ford, for vice-president in 1936.
