[TUSCALOOSA, ALA., APRIL 2024] — The latest issue of Alabama Heritage magazine has a new look.
Since the magazine’s inception in 1986, its mission has been to educate, inspire, and entertain those deeply invested in the history of Alabama. With this new design, the magazine pays homage to the original logo while still providing quality content.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of “Bloody Tuesday,” when a group of Black citizens tried to march to the Tuscaloosa County courthouse but were attacked by law enforcement, Klansmen and more. Author John Giggie chronicles Bloody Tuesday—a day that became one of the most violent days of the civil rights movement.
Also featured are the Battle of Mobile Bay and the siege of Fort Morgan; the 2024 Places in Peril list; and the work of U.S. Sen. John Allen. The 2024 Places in Peril list highlights significantly endangered locations across the state, hoping to preserve the area for years to come.
Debuting in this issue is a new department, entitled “Alabama Counties.” Starting with Autauga County, Alabama Heritage will have a one-page infographic highlighting interesting facts and intriguing history of each of the sixty-seven counties in the state. Regular departments include Alabama Governors, From the Archives, Reading the Southern Past and more.
