Albert Taylor "A. T." Sanders Jr. (November 10, 1926 – June 17, 1989), also known as A. T. "Apple" Sanders Jr., was a Democrat who served in the Louisiana House of Representatives from East Baton Rouge Parish from 1956 to 1964.[1]

His father, Albert Sanders Sr., was born in Amite County, Mississippi. Sanders attended Baton Rouge High School and Louisiana State University.[2] Sanders and his wife, Gloria P. Sanders, had a son, Albert Sanders III, known as "Lil Apple".[citation needed]
