A timeline of stories and images can be found here, illuminating the past from the perspective of those who lived it. 

The people and their stories, their values and priorities, their hopes and fears, are the DNA of the city, slowly evolving with each generation. Each story is an integral part of the pattern which defines Mobile's unique identity, her culture and her character.

The more we know about the past,

the more we know about each other.  Understanding the connection between people and events, sharing our values, priorities and goals as a community, builds unity and trust, clearing away the obstacles to peace, progress and prosperity.
