Source: Posted: 12-26-2005 at 11:46:10
| MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- It is one of the most picturesque parts of the state, yet has historically been home to some of the poorest of the poor. Alabama's "Black Belt" was named for the 25-mile wide swath of thick, fertile soil that stretches across the south-central part of the state. In the early part of the 19th century, half of Alabama's enslaved population was concentrated within this ten county area. After the Civil War, the name came to refer to an area defined more by its demographic boundaries, since the majority of residents in the Black Belt continue to be of African-American descent. |
