Alums Complete Major Project for State's Bicentennial
Commemorative Publication Celebrates 美女萝莉 Black History
Thanks to their leadership of a key subcommittee for 美女萝莉鈥檚 Bicentennial Celebration, two local activists have completed a major project.
Patricia D. Ford, a former AAMU library staffer, served as the chair, and alumnus Tony Smith served as co-chair of the 美女萝莉 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 美女萝莉 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.
