Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a Woman's Eye presents an evocative collection of a hundred black and white photographs made by Edith Morgan of Camden, a small town in Wilcox County, Alabama, just after the turn of the twentieth century. Morgan was educated locally before attending the School of the Chicago Art Institute. Subsequently she returned to Camden where she spent the remainder of her life teaching art. She also taught illiterate blacks and whites to read. Thirty years ago, Marian Furman, also of Camden and herself a professional photographer, discovered an album made by Morgan of photographs of her friends, students, and local African Americans. The latter, although somewhat stereotypical of photographs of blacks at the time, are sympathetic; they reveal the humanity of Morgan's subjects. This volume collects Morgan's photographs, along with essays that put them in the context of time and place. Professor Hardy Jackson's essay presents a personal memory. Furman describes socioeconomic and political conditions in Wilcox County and offers biographical information on the Morgan family. Dr. Matthew Mason of Yale's Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library presents additional biographical information and offers a critical assessment of Morgan's photographs, comparing her work to that of contemporary photographers, especially her female peers.

Download or read book Lacon Mountain Chronicles written by Ed Higdon and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-20 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lacon Mountain is located in South Morgan County, Alabama, on the Old Highway 31. At one time Lacon was a thriving village formally known as Cedar Crossing, boasting a post office, brickyard, a sawmill, a gin, a rock crusher, a church, and a newspaper. Today all that remains of Lacon is the Lacon Trade Day. The Patterson family home sits across the highway from it, backed up by the Knight Farm, which still operates and remains in the family. You can find anything you want for a price, from the best hunting dogs in the world to goats. The proper slogan for Lacon Trade Day is, "If it ain't here, it don't exist." My favorite is the meat skins that are cooked on the spot and packaged in a paper sack still warm. Settle back and learn about life in Lacon and around the world as seen through the eyes of master storyteller Ed Higdon.

Download or read book Scapegoat written by Peggy Allen Towns and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-11-06 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1978, the arrest of Tommy Lee Hines, a young black man with the mental capacity of a six-year-old, shook the city of Decatur, Alabama. This gripping story chronicles the untold narrative of an intellectually disabled man who finds himself trapped in a web of systemic racism, prejudices, and a legal system that needs reforming. As the sequence of events unfold, author Peggy Allen Towns captures the tragedy of Tommy Lee Hines that inspired a movement for change. Throughout the pages of this book, you will meet courageous and extraordinary individuals who took risks and believed it was their duty to seek justice. You also will encounter hostile counter-demonstrators and their warring tempers, as they hold on to the ideology of the “Old South.” This powerful, heart-wrenching account of Decatur’s Scapegoat not only explores the sacrificial offerings, but unmasks biases and inequalities that compelled the conscience of some to take progressive steps to eradicate racial injustice. The efforts of social reform advanced equal opportunities for a more unified city in the struggle of fairness for all. And the struggle continues.
