Description
This book describes the historically black university that thrives in Montgomery.""Creating Community"" explores how faculty members at Alabama State University, a historically black university in Montgomery, have been inspired by African American culture and the legacy of the civil rights movement. It also examines how they interpret and extend that inspiration through teaching, scholarship, and service. The contributors to the volume describe a wide range of experiences from the era of segregation to the present day. These include accounts of growing up and going to college in Alabama, arriving in the South for the first time to teach at ASU, and the development of programs such as the National Center for the Study of Civil Rights and African American culture. Together, the essays present viewpoints that reflect the diverse ethnic, cultural, and academic backgrounds of the contributors and of the university.About Author
