Alabama: The Progress, The Promise By Ralph Stacy and Kristina Sauerwein From the quiet bayous along Alabama s southern shore to the roar of rocket engines at Huntsville in the north, the golden Heart of Dixie beats anew in the Yellowhammer State. Alabama: The Progress, The Promise tells in words and pictures how Alabama shines as a beacon of racial healing in the New South, as Don Logan puts it in his foreword; how it hums as an important center of aerospace and automaking; and how it reaps the bounty of its fertile economic environment. Alabama: The Progress, The Promise shows how the past, the present, and the future abide side-by-side in Alabama. Here we find such storied schools as Tuskegee University, with its Air Force ROTC program upholding the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen of World War II. Where Governor George Wallace once took his stand in the schoolhouse door at the University of Alabama, we find a universally respected center of learning, with its public law school, its doctoral programs, and its Crimson Tide sports teams. Where Admiral David Farragut broke through Confederate defenses at the Battle of Mobile Bay, we now find the deepwater Port of Mobile with its extensive intermodal freight facilities. And nestled along the state s extensive inland waterways and within its broad forests we find bustling business incubators and ultramodern research parks. Alabama: The Progress, The Promise paints the new Alabama as a land of hope and opportunity, freed of divisive politics, friendly to business and industry, and extending that most Southern of virtues, hospitality, to friends and strangers alike.
