Marvin Warren "Henry" Aldridge (April 27, 1923 – February 2, 2002) was a dentist and member of the North Carolina House of Representatives.
Aldridge served on the Greenville City Council for a number of terms, and was elected to the North Carolina House (Ninth District) in 1994, defeating Democratic incumbent Charles McLawhorn.
In 1998, Aldridge also received some press attention when, noting a report that non-white infant mortality rates were nearly twice as high as for white infants, commented that he doubted the report "because it seems that most of the black people I know are bigger and tougher and stronger than whites."
Aldridge said afterwards that his comments were intended to be complimentary, as "Black men are generally bigger, strong, better athletes.
"[8][9] Aldridge retired from office in 1998, after losing to Democratic candidate Marian N. McLawhorn in the 1998 election.
