The Muscle Shoals National Heritage Area funded the project through their Community Grants Program. In the autumn of 2017, Project Say Something, in conjunction with the Florence- Lauderdale Public Library and students in the Public History program at UNA, hosted three history digitization events. At these events, com- munity members brought photographs, pamphlets, newspaper articles, documents, yearbooks, and other historical artifacts that were scanned and added to the public library’s online database. Volunteers also rec- orded oral histories at these events, and these recordings, along with typed transcripts, were added to the library’s database as well. This da- tabase can be accessed at: shoalsblackhistory.omeka.net. This effort seeks to incorporate African American history and life into the narrative of the Shoals area. In order for this history to be shared, it must first be gathered and organized; it can then be contextu- alized within national and regional trends and transformed into educa- tional resources that make sense of our common heritage and help us to better understand our present moment.

  • Black & White in America: Political Cartoons on Race in the 1920S
    BECOMING MODERN: AMERICA IN THE 1920S PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION * IN POLITICAL CARTOONS THE T WENTIES Eighteen political cartoons examining the racial issues confronting black and white Americans in the 1920s— the “race problem”—appear on the following pages. RACE They were published in general circulation (white- owned) and African American newspapers from 1919 to 1928. [Virulent racist depictions from the period are not included in this collection.] To analyze a political cartoon, consider its: CONTENT. First, basically describe what is drawn in the cartoon (without referring to the labels). What is depicted? What is happening? CONTEXT. Consider the timing. What is happening in national events at the time of the cartoon? Check the date: what occurred in the days and weeks before the cartoon appeared? LABELS. Read each label; look for labels that are not apparent at first, and for other written content in the cartoon. SYMBOLS. Name the symbols in the cartoons. What do they mean? How do they convey the cartoon’s “The U.S. Constitution Will Soon Be Bobtailed” meaning? The Afro-American, Jan. 18, 1924 TITLE. Study the title. Is it a statement, question, exclamation? Does it employ a well-known phrase, e.g., slang, song lyric, movie title, radio show, political or product slogan? How does it encapsulate and enhance the cartoonist’s point? TONE. Identify the tone of the cartoon. Is it satirical, comic, tragic, ironic, condemning, quizzical, imploring? What adjective describes the feeling of the cartoon? How do the visual elements in the drawing align with its tone? POINT. Put it all together.

  • African American History in the Muscle Shoals National Heritage Area
    African American History in the Muscle Shoals National Heritage Area Africans arrived in Alabama well before it became a state. In 1527, Pánfilo de Narvaez and six hundred men, including an unknown number of Christian African slaves (though at least two), left Spain on five ships with the intention of forming a permanent settlement in Florida. After a series of unfortunate events, the men landed in Mobile Bay, where one of the African slaves went to locate water for the crew. The man never returned to the ship and he inadvertently became the first black man to set foot in Alabama. Over the next three hundred years, more people of African descent traveled through and lived in what would become the state of Alabama. Some came of their own volition, however most arrived as slaves. The rich soil of the Tennessee River Valley attracted planters and farmers from Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia. Because of poor field management practices, the soil in these eastern seaboard states had become worn out. Planters and farmers arrived in northwest Alabama, eager to grow crops, especially cotton. Many of them traveled to the region with slaves. While slavery in northwest Alabama did not reach the magnitude of slavery in the Black Belt region to the south, a significant portion of the population was enslaved. In 1818, when Alabama was still a territory, slaves made up 16 percent of the population of Franklin County and 13.6 percent of the population of Lauderdale County. By the eve of the Civil War, there were twenty three plantations in Lauderdale County with over fifty slaves.

Lightfoot, Mayor Department of Planning and Development Maurice D. Cox, Commissioner 1 The Commission on Chicago Landmarks, whose nine members are appointed by the Mayor and City Council, was established in 1968 by city ordinance. The Commission is responsible for rec- ommending to the City Council which individual buildings, sites, objects, or districts should be desig- nated as Chicago Landmarks, which protects them by law. The landmark designation process begins with a staff study and a preliminary summary of information related to the potential designation criteria. The next step is a preliminary vote by the landmarks commission as to whether the proposed landmark is worthy of consideration. This vote not only initiates the formal designation process, but it places the review of city permits for the property under the jurisdiction of the Commission until a final landmark recommendation is acted on by the City Council. This Landmark Designation Report is subject to possible revision and amendment during the designation process. Only language contained within the designation ordinance adopted by the City Council should be regarded as final. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 4 Building Location Map 5 History of the Oakland Community Area and Bronzeville 6 Oakland Community Area 6 Bronzeville 9 History of Blackwell-Israel Samuel A.M.E.
