Alabama State University is a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) in Montgomery, Alabama. Founded less than two years after the end of the Civil War as the Lincoln Normal School in Marion, Alabama, it is one of the oldest HBCUs in the United States. Nine ex-slaves, Joey Pinch, Thomas Speed, Nickolas Dale, James Childs, Thomas Lee, John Freeman, Nathan Levert, David Harris, and Alexander H. Curtis, made up the first Board of Trustees. Under their guidance, the black and white community of Marion raised five hundred dollars to buy land for the school’s campus.

Capitol building in Montgomery, Alabama
Almost make it seem as if you are in old Europe, but this beautiful fountain dating back to 1885 stands in atop an artesian well in the center of old town Montgomery, AL. Barely noticeable Directly behind and less than a mile past the fountain is the Alabama State Capitol.
A very nice downtown area. I passed through during the holidays so it was rather lonely. I wonder what it looks like on a regular day.
