Author Bio
Images from diverse sources form this visual narrative. The pictures not only provide historical scenes of Tuscaloosa's physical charm, the defining role of the river, and the advancement of higher learning institutions and medical facilities but also address the cultural and social conflict contributing to the rich and distinct Southern legacy. University of Alabama professor Amalia K. Amaki and Tuscaloosa native Katherine R. Mauter, executive director of the Tuscaloosa County Preservation Society, carefully selected images to capture the unique character of the city.
