Voices from a Disputed Time
In 2019, a Samford University student group in Dr. Annalise DeVries' Digital History class chose to study the Rosedale School. The group, self named Preserve, AL, was composed of Shae Corey, Wyatt Dunn, Robbie Nikont and Mia Owens. After months of research, the group produced an Esri Story Map detailing the activities of the school under the leadership of B.M Montgomery and the closure of the institution due to integration. This Story Map also explores the effects of school integration on the black neighborhood, and shows the increased movement of individuals away from Rosedale to pursue new opportunities. Additionally, the Story Map touches on current issues of gentrification and encroachment that Rosedale continues to face.
