Igreja Episcopal Metodista Africana Brown (Selma)

A Igreja Episcopal Metodista Africana Brown (em inglês: Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church) é uma igreja situada na 410 Martin Luther King Jr. Street em Selma, Alabama, Estados Unidos. Esta igreja foi um ponto de partida para as marchas de Selma a Montgomery em 1965 e, como o local de reunião e escritórios da Conferência da Liderança Cristã do Sul (SCLC) durante o Movimento de Selma, desempenhou um papel importante nos eventos que levaram à adoção da Lei dos direitos de voto de 1965. A reação da nação à marcha do "Domingo Sangrento" de Selma é amplamente creditada por tornar a aprovação da Lei dos Direitos de Voto politicamente viável no Congresso dos Estados Unidos. Foi adicionada ao Registro de Marcos e Patrimônio do Alabama em 16 de junho de 1976 e posteriormente declarada Marco Histórico Nacional em 4 de fevereiro de 1982. A estrutura sofreu danos significativos de cupins e mofo enquanto estava desocupada durante a pandemia de COVID-19, e foi incluída na lista anual do Fundo Nacional para a Preservação Histórica dos 11 lugares mais ameaçados do país em 2022. Descrição A Capela Brown está localizada a nordeste do centro de Selma, no lado leste da Martin Luther King Jr. Street entre a St. Johns Street e a Clark Avenue. É uma grande estrutura de alvenaria, construída em tijolo vermelho com acabamento em pedra branca. Estilisticamente, é basicamente um renascimento românico, construída no formato de uma cruz grega com influências bizantinas. Sua fachada tem suas entradas recuadas atrás de uma arcada de três arcos arredondados e é ladeada por um par de torres quadradas encimadas por lanternas octogonais e cúpulas. A única grande alteração externa é uma adição funcional à parte traseira, que abriga cozinha e outras instalações. A igreja foi construída em 1908 segundo um projeto de A. J. Farley. Sua congregação surgiu de uma congregação combinada de metodistas afro-americanos e brancos que se separaram por raça em 1866. Seu primeiro santuário foi construído neste local em 1869. É mais conhecida hoje por seu papel como local de reuniões organizacionais relacionadas a vários eventos importantes do Movimento pelos Direitos Civis nas décadas de 1950 e 1960. A Conferência da Liderança Cristã do Sul (SCLC), uma das principais organizações de ativistas dos direitos civis, usou a igreja como sua sede em Selma durante atividades de protesto organizadas em 1964 e 1965 que levaram à aprovação da Lei dos Direitos de Voto de 1965.

Коричнева каплиця AME церкви

Коричнева каплиця A.M.E. церкви — це церква за адресою: 410, вулиця Мартіна Лютера Кінга-молодшого. Бульвар в Сельма, штат Алабама, Сполучені Штати Америки. Ця церква стала відправною точкою для маршу Сельма-Монтгомері у 1965 році і, будучи місцем зустрічей та офісами Конференції християнських лідерів півдня (SCLC) під час руху Сельма, відіграла важливу роль у подіях, які призвели до прийняття Закону про виборчі права 1965 роки. Широко поширена думка, що реакція нації на марш Сельми «Кривава неділя» зробила прийняття Закону про виборчі права політично життєздатним в Конгрес США. 16 червня 1976 року вона була додана до Реєстру визначних пам'яток і спадщини Алабами, а пізніше 4 лютого 1982 року оголошена Національною історичною пам'яткою. Будівля зазнала значної шкоди від термітів і плісняви, поки вона була порожньою під час пандемії COVID-19, і вона була включена до щорічного списку 11 найбільш загрозливих місць Америки Національного фонду охорони історичних пам'яток у 2022 році. Опис Церква Brown Chapel AME розташована на північний схід від центру міста Сельма, на східному боці бульвару Мартіна Лютера Кінга молодшого між вулицею Сент-Джонс і Кларк-авеню. Це велика мурована споруда, зведена з червоної цегли оздоблена білим каменем. Стилістично це в основному романське відродження, побудоване у формі грецького хреста з візантійським впливом. Її фасад має входи, заглиблені за аркаду з трьох округлих арок, і оточена парою квадратних веж, увінчаних восьмикутними ліхтарями та куполами. Єдина значна зовнішня зміна — це функціональне доповнення задньої частини, розміщення кухні та інших зручностей. Церква побудована в 1908 році за проєктом AJ Farley. Його конгрегація виникла з об'єднаної афроамериканської та білої конгрегації методистів, яка розділилася за расою в 1866 році. Його перша святиня була побудована на цьому місці в 1869 році. Нині вона найбільш відома своєю роллю як місце проведення організаційних зустрічей, пов'язаних з кількома важливими подіями в русі за громадянські права 1950-х і 1960-х років. Південна християнська лідерська конференція (SCLC), одна з головних організацій активістів громадянських прав, використовувала церкву як свою штаб-квартиру в Сельмі під час протестних заходів, організованих у 1964 та 1965 роках, які призвели до остаточного прийняття Закону про виборчі права 1965 року.

Buck's Pocket State Park

Buck's Pocket State Park is a public recreation area located on Sand Mountain in the northeast corner of the U.S. state of Alabama, two miles (3.2 km) north of the community of Grove Oak. The state park occupies 2,000 acres (810 ha) surrounding a natural pocket (canyon) of the Appalachian Mountain chain along South Sauty Creek, an upstream tributary on the east side of Guntersville Lake. The park is known for the sweeping views of its rugged, seemingly untouched landscape provided from the heights of Point Rock. History The park's origins date from 1966, when the Sand Mountain Booster's Club organized the Tri-County Park Authority and purchased land from a local farmer. Additional acreage totalling some 700 acres was contributed by the Tennessee Valley Authority. The park opened in 1971. In 2015, Buck's Pocket lost its campground and its staffing as part of the closing and curtailment of services at several Alabama state parks following severe budget cuts. The park reopened with a renovated campground and the addition of an 8-mile-long ORV (Off-Road Recreational Vehicle) trail in 2020. Park lore The origin of the name "Buck's Pocket" has been variously attributed to the presence of large herds of deer, the legendary death of a buck who leapt from Point Rock after being trapped by Cherokee, and a man named Buck Berry who used the area to hide from the draft during the Civil War. A persistent story dating from the 1940s holds that unsuccessful Alabama politicians go to Buck's Pocket after being defeated at the polls. When specifically they go and what activities they pursue while there is not specified, but left to the imagination. Activities and amenities The park offers scenic views from atop the Point Rock Overlook, 15 miles (24 km) of trails for hiking, and an 8-mile (13 km) ORV trail. The park's picnic area has a canyon rim vista into the pocket below. A boat launch and fishing area are provided seven miles downstream at Morgan's Cove on Lake Guntersville.

Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge

The Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge is a 3,689.63 acres (15 km2) National Wildlife Refuge located in central Alabama, along the Cahaba River downstream from Birmingham, Alabama. The refuge was established on September 25, 2002. Additional purchases were approved that will potentially increase the size of the refuge to 7,300 acres (29.5 km2). Additional negotiations propose an expansion to a potential 280,000 acres (1,100 km2), most of which currently belongs to private landowners. The facility is unstaffed, but is administered by the Mountain Longleaf National Wildlife Refuge in Anniston, Alabama. The refuge extends from just north of the confluence of the Little Cahaba and Cahaba Rivers to the Piper Bridge in Bibb county, approximately five miles east of West Blocton, Alabama. Approximately 3.5 miles (6 km) of the Cahaba River flow through the refuge. The refuge lies at the far southwestern end of the Appalachian mountain chain. Wildlife Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge is a critical habitat for the endangered Cahaba shiner, goldline darter, round rocksnail, and cylindrical lioplax. There are also 64 other rare plant and animal species within its borders. It is home to Hymenocallis coronaria, a threatened plant species known in Alabama as the Cahaba lily. Its abundant presence here is one of the reasons for the creation of the refuge. Facilities The refuge provides opportunities for fishing, canoeing, hiking, photography, and wildlife observation.

Calhoun Community College

Calhoun Community College is a public community college in Decatur, Alabama. It is the largest of the 24 two-year institutions that make up the Alabama Community College System. History The college was founded in 1946 and named after John C. Calhoun, the 7th Vice President of the United States. He was a War Hawk of 1812, hence the Calhoun athletic teams names. Huntsville Campus The Huntsville Campus opened in 2006. The Sparkman Building was originally a Chrysler electronics factory. The building was purchased by Calhoun Community College for $4.5 million, which included $2 million for a 5-year cleanup of the site. Construction of the Math, Science, and CIS building began in 2014, and was opened in 2016. Campus In addition to its main 110-acre (45 ha) campus in Tanner, the college has sites at Huntsville/Cummings Research Park, the Alabama Center for the Arts in downtown Decatur, and at the Limestone Correctional Facility. The campus sits adjacent to Pryor Field Regional Airport along Highway 31. Calhoun also previously operated a site at The Mall in Huntsville up until it was demolished at the turn of the century. The section of the mall it was in is now a Home Depot. Academics Calhoun serves just over 8,000 students. It offers 49 associate degree programs and 52 career and certificate programs. Of Calhoun's 302 full-time employees, 133 serve on the college faculty. Over 80% of the full-time faculty possess at least a master's degree and approximately 15 percent hold a doctorate. Student life The Decatur campus serves as home for the Warhawks athletic teams. Both baseball fields, and the Carlton Kelly Gymnasium, are housed on the campus. Calhoun participates in baseball and softball in the Alabama Community College Conference. Due to the small size of both Decatur and Austin High School's gymnasiums, the rivalry basketball game is held each year at the 3,000-seat Carlton Kelly Gymnasium to accommodate the large crowds. However, this gym is still not the correct size for the event as crowds up to 4,000 in size attempt to attend the event and upwards of 1,000 can be turned away at each rivalry game.

Cathedral Square, Mobile, Alabama

Cathedral Square is a municipal park in Mobile, Alabama. It is bordered by the streets of North Claiborne, Dauphin, North Jackson, and Conti. History At one time what is now Cathedral Square was part of Mobile's 18th century Catholic cemetery, the Campo Santo. The Campo Santo was roughly 400 feet (120 m) long by 300 feet (91 m) wide and filled portions of what are now several city blocks between Joachim, Dauphin, Franklin, and Conti Streets. Most of the burials were moved to the new Church Street Graveyard in 1819 as Mobile's city boundary expanded. A few graves continued to be accidentally unearthed along Conti Street as late as the 1890s, however. The area that is now Cathedral Square quickly became a commercial block filled with buildings after the relocation of the cemetery. The buildings were demolished in 1979 to create a public park facing the cathedral. The current park layout was implemented in 1996. Features The park features a layout that mirrors the neighboring Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. The brick sidewalks mirror the walls and nave of the cathedral while a semicircular colonnade featuring fountains mirrors the apse. References
Celebration Arena

The Celebration Arena is a defunct 5,000-seat indoor arena located in Priceville, Alabama, near Decatur. It contains a 150-by-300-foot (45,000 square feet (4,200 m2)) arena floor that can be used not only for sporting events as well as rodeos and horse shows (most notably the world championship show for the Racking Horse), but also for trade shows, flea markets, and other special events, such as concerts (concert capacity is up to 7,000). For a time this arena was the only structure in Alabama that contained a full indoor track. It was formerly the site of the Alabama High School Athletic Association State Indoor Track Meet. Concerns over the facility's safety led to the cancellation of the AHSAA Indoor Track season for 2007-2008. Celebration Arena ended its role as the state's indoor track facility and in 2012 a new indoor track facility was opened adjacent to the Bill Harris Arena at the Alabama State Fairgrounds in Birmingham. In 2009, Celebration Arena was purchased by the State Products Mart of Morgan County and was eventually upgraded with facilities for its current emphasis on horse-related events. In 2022, the State Products Mart Authority board sold the arena for Aaron Guthrie for $2.5 million. In 2024, news reported that this arena would be used for solar panel manufacturing.
