Chapter 1: Bohemians, Socialists, Artists: Fairhope, AL in the 1920s

Beginning with its founding as a single-tax colony in 1894, the small town of Fairhope, Alabama, served as a Southern hub of progressive thinking. The roaring 20s were no exception for the town. As northern transplants flocked to the town, often wintering on its beaches, so did some of the progressive movements that were emerging in more urban areas of the time. Cady Inabinett explains how Fairhope of the 1920s was defined by its free-thinking and vibrant population, including progressive education leaders, card-carrying socialists, artists, writers, and philosophers. However, while forward-thinking, Fairhope’s population and lifestyle was shaped by its largely upper-class and white citizens and seemed to not have any large-scale impact on the political and social climate of Alabama as a whole.

Chapter 2: Education in Alabama during the 1920s

Alabama made great strides in education during the 1920s due to education reform. Governor Thomas Kilby (1918-1922) was a lead proponent of education reform in this decade. He increased taxes which led to increased funding in Alabama schools. Increased funding helped schools to improve, but funding was not divided evenly. This talk by Jovanna Kloss will discuss the differences between rural and urban schools as well as white and black schools. Alabama did not have state funded schools until the late 1800s, as a result the state had opportunity schools which taught adults who had not received adequate education as children. Even with Alabama’s education noticeably improving in areas such as literacy, there were still opponents of the increased taxation. This talk will also discuss how the quality of education in Alabama has changed throughout the twentieth century.

Chapter 3: The Theory of Evolution in Alabama during the 1920s

Often called the “Heart of Dixie”, Alabama has always had a cultural connotation of a rural, uneducated community where God is king, and football is second. A state that often blurs the line between “piety and politics,” Alabamian politicians have propagated the state’s reputation to the rest of the nation, often the first to back and sponsor religiously based culture wars. This has not always been the case explains Jacob Gross. Alabama’s religious communities during the 1920s often took a more progressive view in the dissemination of new scientific information regarding the origin of man. Nearly everyone with a microphone in Alabama’s churches supported the separation of church and state at the time of the Scopes trial (1925), the first major court case regarding whether the theories of evolution should be taught in school. This sentiment left fundamentalist Alabamians dissatisfied and it seems to have made the religious communities of our time more obsessed with the Darwinist culture war.
