Untold Stories of Black Montevallo
Untold Stories of Black Montevallo
Originally featured in Montevallo's Chamber Chatter, our stories amplify the voices of African descendants in and around Montevallo. While some narratives recount darker moments, together they celebrate the dignity, pride, resourcefulness, kindness, and hospitality of the African American community. Read on to discover the untold stories that bring our town’s rich Black history to light.
These stories contribute to Montevallo’s African American Heritage Trail research.
Published monthly in Montevallo’s Chamber Chatter, we compile these stories annually in a booklet available at MLP-sponsored events. Each story is then archived on this webpage, enhanced by additional images, maps, and content.
You can access and download PDF’s of the yearly booklets below.
