The "Scottsboro Stories" blog reflects the writings, photographs, arrangements, opinions and musings of me, Garry L. Morgan, only. I do not represent the Scottsboro Boys Museum or the Scottsboro Multicultural Foundation - the parent organization of the Scottsboro Boys Museum. I receive no profit from this endeavor. This blog is for educational purposes and that of open expression about racial and sexual discrimination, institutional and personal racism and the deadliest war of all time - "The Culture War."

The Scottsboro Boys Museum

"Let Justice be done though the heavens may fall." Judge James E Horton

The Scottsboro Boys Museum and Cultural Center is needed to educate our local community and the nation concerning the disease of racism and the debilitating effects of this disease which still exists in our society.

My Comment and Suggestion: The Scottsboro Boys Museum should be managed by a special non-profit Board of Directors consisting of members of the Scottsboro-Jackson County Community, the University of Alabama, Alabama A&M University and other Universities and Colleges within the State of Alabama as a project of the educational system of Alabama with input from race relations and minority studies scholars in Alabama, the nation and across the globe. This suggestion, in my opinion, is necessary for the sustainability of the museum and its' crucial role of Race Relations education in our state and nation.

About the Scottsboro-Jackson County Heritage Center and Jackson County

The cultural history of Jackson County and Scottsboro, Alabama is displayed at the "Heritage Center." The center has a wonderful geneological library which includes many slavery period documents establishing geneological backgrounds of early African-Americans in Jackson County Alabama.

References relating to Native Americans, the Civil War, African Americans, Mountain Folk and European Cultures may be found at the Center.

Sagetown is an excellent example of a reconstructed 19th century village displaying a school, blacksmith shop, mine, and pioneer living indicative of all cultures during the 19th and early 20th century period of our history.
