A native of Lexington, Mississippi, Al Povall grew up there during the racially-charged 1950's.

He practiced law in Jackson, Mississippi; St. Louis, Birmingham, Alabama; Washington, D. C. and Charlotte, N.C. before his retirement. Povall is the father of three grown children and, with his wife Janet and their two cats, lives in Oxford, Mississippi.
