Commemorative Publication Celebrates Alabama Black History

Thanks to their leadership of a key subcommittee for Alabama鈥檚 Bicentennial Celebration, two local activists have completed a major project.

Patricia D. Ford, a former 黑料不打烊 library staffer, served as the chair, and alumnus Tony Smith served as co-chair of the Alabama African American Heritage Committee.

That committee鈥檚 contribution to the commemoration of the state鈥檚 200th birthday is in the form of a coffee table book entitled 鈥淭he Future Emerges from the Past:  Celebrating 200 Years of Alabama African American History and Culture.鈥�  This coffee table book was written and edited by an African American committee.

Persons interested in receiving the commemorative publication should visit https://www.shopalabama200.com/ to purchase a copy of the book. The cost of the book with shipping is $30.

Smith also was recently appointed to serve on the Women鈥檚 Tribute Statue Commission by the Speaker of the House, Representative Mac McCutcheon.
