Our connection to the Alabama Bicentennial African American History Project began with a referral from one of our major clients. That referral opened the door for us to use our project management skills to help recognize the people, places and events, both iconic and unsung, which tell the story about Alabama’s rich African American History.
We provided the following services:
- Leadership support to Alabama Bicentennial African American History Project committee that selected the Bicentennial book content
- Managed the project planning team that worked to create the book – The Future Emerges From the Past – 200 Years of Alabama African American History
- Managed promotional efforts
We are sincerely grateful to have been given the opportunity to meet and work with all the people that shared their time and talents to bring this idea to a reality. And we are committed to the book’s goal of motivating the next generation – our future – to continue Alabama’s great legacy of accomplishments.

Testimonial
The magnificently designed book is a rich treasure trove of information and insight, including little known stories and figures from history. It was almost three years in the making with many hands and minds contributing along the way. For this complex project, APS handled everything from running content development meetings to printing, to advertising and promotion.
The Future Emerges from the Past is an enduring legacy of the bicentennial that will continue to inform and enrich readers for many years to come, and that is thanks to Advanced Planning Services’ organizational abilities, commitment and partnership.
