To celebrate Black History Month, the Aliceville Museum is hosting a program by Dr. Derryn E. Moten, Professor and Chair of the Department of History and Political Science at Alabama State University, on Thursday, February 7 at 6:00 p.m. in the Museum’s Events Room at 104 Broad Street NE in Aliceville.

The Bon Ami Civic & Service Club recently held their annual Black History program at Franconia CME Church in Aliceville.  This year’s theme was “African Americans in Times of War”.  Club Member Cynthia Gilmore served as the program’s mistress of ceremony. 

Throughout this program, the crowd was entertained by the harmonic sounds of the A.E.S. Voices of Inspiration.  Introduced by his brother, Naeem Corder, the guest speaker for the afternoon was Seliman Corder, formerly of Aliceville.
