Over the past 10 years we celebrated Alabama African American history through the Alabama African American History Calendar and The Future Emerges From The Past-Celebrating 200 Years of Alabama African American History & Culture bicentennial book.
We have now entered into the 3rd phase of this journey with the Beyond the Book website. The Alabama African American History Beyond the Book website continues the journey and goes beyond what could be included in the calendars and bicentennial book’s 244 pages.
Featured subjects in Beyond the Book since its launch in 2021:
The Clotilda slave ship
The Alabama Black Belt
Alabama Poet Laureate Ashley Jones
Congressman John Lewis
The Freedom Riders
Hobson City, Alabama
Mabel “Big Mama” Thornton
The Alabama African American Mural Trail
This Month In African American History features significant historical events that occurred during that month.
On a monthly basis, this site highlights past Alabama African American history makers and events and present day icons, unsung sheroes/heroes, outstanding students, and current events.
The website’s goal is the same as the calendar and book’s, to inspire the young and young at heart to dream big and never allow obstacles to stop their march toward achieving those dreams.
