Download or read book Fairhope in the Roaring Twenties written by Cathy Donelson and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1920s roared into the quiet bay-front utopian village of Fairhope in roadsters and riverboats carrying free thinkers, nudists, bootleg whiskey, Socialists, progressives, and some of the leading counter-culture authors and artists of the century. Founded in 1894 as a model cooperative colony, Fairhope had a name before it was a place because its settlers believed their unique venture would have a "fair hope" of success. Its cornerstone was the law of equal freedom for all. During the Jazz Age, flappers and wealthy visitors from metropolitan centers of Chicago and New York abounded during the post-war boom. They flocked to the beautiful resort spot on Mobile Bay, an entertainment center with dance and yacht clubs and a waterfront casino. The town's individualistic roots also attracted famous idealists, intellectuals, and social critics of the day, as well as mavericks, Communists, and some just plain kooks.

Download or read book Fairhope 1894 1954 written by Paul E. Alyea and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "On November 15, 1894, a small group of men and women met on a bleak stretch of bay shore near Mobile, Alabama, to establish a colony. It was a decidedly Utopian undertaking in a period characterized by many similar social experiments and ideal communities, most of them failures. This group, which gathered at 'Stapleton's Pasture' to found Fairhope, hoped to demonstrate the benefits of the single tax as a means of curing social and economic evils. They hoped to make a practical test of the doctrines of Henry George. Today, the wealth of parks, downtown developments, public and private schools, a library, modern infrastructure, and attractive commercial and residential sections all attest to Fairhope's unique position among many other older communities in the same region. Its residents represent a diverse array of interests and talents, and as a haven for many artists, writers, and musicians, it embodies a strong regard for individualism and a higher tolerance for nonconformists than many communities of its size. Paul E. and Blanche R. Alyea's study of Fairhope, first published in 1954, is the history of this unique and improbable community, and the single-tax social experiment that gave rise to it. A new introduction by the historian and long-time Fairhope resident Tennant McWilliams provides invaluable context and entertaining anecdotes concerning not only Fairhope's founding, but the lives of the Alyeas, the couple who thought to first set down this history, and for abiding relevance and value of their study for today's visitors and residents"--

Download or read book The Last Slave Ship written by Ben Raines and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-01-24 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “enlightening” (The Guardian) true story of the last ship to carry enslaved people to America, the remarkable town its survivors’ founded after emancipation, and the complicated legacy their descendants carry with them to this day—by the journalist who discovered the ship’s remains. Fifty years after the Atlantic slave trade was outlawed, the Clotilda became the last ship in history to bring enslaved Africans to the United States. The ship was scuttled and burned on arrival to hide the wealthy perpetrators to escape prosecution. Despite numerous efforts to find the sunken wreck, Clotilda remained hidden for the next 160 years. But in 2019, journalist Ben Raines made international news when he successfully concluded his obsessive quest through the swamps of Alabama to uncover one of our nation’s most important historical artifacts. Traveling from Alabama to the ancient African kingdom of Dahomey in modern-day Benin, Raines recounts the ship’s perilous journey, the story of its rediscovery, and its complex legacy. Against all odds, Africatown, the Alabama community founded by the captives of the Clotilda, prospered in the Jim Crow South. Zora Neale Hurston visited in 1927 to interview Cudjo Lewis, telling the story of his enslavement in the New York Times bestseller Barracoon. And yet the haunting memory of bondage has been passed on through generations. Clotilda is a ghost haunting three communities—the descendants of those transported into slavery, the descendants of their fellow Africans who sold them, and the descendants of their fellow American enslavers. This connection binds these groups together to this day. At the turn of the century, descendants of the captain who financed the Clotilda’s journey lived nearby—where, as significant players in the local real estate market, they disenfranchised and impoverished residents of Africatown. From these parallel stories emerges a profound depiction of America as it struggles to grapple with the traumatic past of slavery and the ways in which racial oppression continues to this day. And yet, at its heart, The Last Slave Ship remains optimistic—an epic tale of one community’s triumphs over great adversity and a celebration of the power of human curiosity to uncover the truth about our past and heal its wounds.
