Produktbeschreibung

In the 1960s, Tuscaloosa drew national attention when the University of Alabama was fully integrated. The decade also marked the arrival of Paul "e;Bear"e; Bryant as head coach of Alabama's football team and the majority of Frank Anthony Rose's tenure as president--a period characterized by race mediation and increases in enrollment, assets, and academic standards. For the next 50 years, sports, education, cultural and recreational opportunities, and business developments contributed to the city and the lifestyles of its residents. Tuscaloosa has associations with people such as F. David Mathews (who concurrently served as president of Alabama and as a secretary under Pres. Gerald Ford), writer Richard Yates (Revolutionary Road), actress Sela Ward, and quarterback Joe Namath.

Autorenporträt

Images from diverse sources form this visual narrative. The pictures not only provide historical scenes of Tuscaloosa's physical charm, the defining role of the river, and the advancement of higher learning institutions and medical facilities but also address the cultural and social conflict contributing to the rich and distinct Southern legacy. University of Alabama professor Amalia K. Amaki and Tuscaloosa native Katherine R. Mauter, executive director of the Tuscaloosa County Preservation Society, carefully selected images to capture the unique character of the city.
