Very little has been written about Blacks and the Culture they
cultivated during the 19th and 20th Century, especially in the
South in the City of Mobile, Alabama. Within this book, special
emphasis is given and written about the years of the 40's through
the 70's in which part of this Culture was captured and cultivated.
The authors take you back in time to reveal a look into (1)
Historical Perspectives (2) Reveal the Influences of the Church (3)
The Daily Activities and Dress (4) The Foods and Livelihood (5) The
Materialization of The Family (6) An In-depth look at the Community
of Old Down-The-Bay (7) One Author's search for identity after the
Destruction of the Old Down-The-Bay Community; A simple formula
used to gain Economic Stability (8) The Judicial Practice used to
take land away from Blacks and (10) What to do legally to possibly
regain lost land (11) The Future Outlook of Blacks.
This book highlights with pictures and articles such events as:
Society Meetings; Churches and Congregations; Social Functions;
Personalities; Local Talents/Creoles; Hair Styles and Fashions;
Schools, Teams, Curriculum, and Students; Oral Histories; Foods
Combinations; Home and over the Counter Remedies for sickness;
Taboos; Slang Words and their meanings; Old Adages; Cleaning &
Restoration Methods; The Civil Rights Movement & The Negro
Proclamation; High Positions Appointed to Negroes; and
Advertisements used during the years of the 1940's thru the 70's.
Lastly, this book will give my defined meaning of the words Soul,
Soul Food; The Blues; Black Language and Usage; A list of Black
Music with defined characteristics; and gives you an in depth view
of the identity of "WHO BLACK PEOPLE REALLYARE."
It is our hope that this book will instill pride and knowledge of
how life was in the South, in particular Mobile, Alabama, give
meaning to "Who You Really Are?" being a Black person; be a
challenge to others from different cities and communities to
research and write in a manner wherein their stories are told from
the voice of the people; also, influence others to write about
their Black culture and heritage; consult with family elders about
the importance of family and church involvement; and, finally look
into land that was taken through bogus land deals.
