Clark-Shaw Magnet School Oral Histories of Alabama

This channel was created to showcase oral histories collected by middle school students in Mobile, AL to celebrate the Alabama Bicentennial. This project was inspired by and is dedicated to Frederick D. Reese, one of the Courageous Eight, from Selma, AL. Rev. Reese’s story has had a great impact on our students. They have been inspired to impact others by posting interesting, previously unknown, unique, and sometimes humorous accounts collected from members of our families and community. Some of these histories are first-hand testimonials, while others are cherished stories which have been passed down through generations. These youth would like to preserve these stories for anyone who would like to learn from them. We hope you enjoy! #ALABAMA200 #AL200Schools
