For the Birmingham Times
When Niesha White moved to Birmingham seven years ago to pursue a career in technology, the Dothan, Alabama, native surveyed the local tech scene and noticed that something was missing people who looked like her.
“With me being a transplant to Birmingham, it was hard to know what was going on and who to connect with,” White said.
She visited Meetup.com in search of a group for Black Birmingham residents interested in technology, but she couldn’t find one. So, in January 2020, she decided to form her own.
White, 29, is the founder of Birmingham Black Techies (BBT), a community for people who want to get advice and share knowledge and resources about all things tech and make new friends along the way.
The Birmingham Times
Birmingham’s Linn Park, from the now defunct City Stages music festival to the recently removed Confederate monument, has seen its share of city history.
The seven-acre park that separates Birmingham City Hall and the Jefferson County Courthouse in downtown also may also have been the site of the county’s first lynching, according to a local grass-roots coalition that documents racial terror.
The Jefferson County Memorial Project (JCMP), composed of over 40 community partners, researches the untold history of lynching in the county and the historical links among slavery, Jim Crow and present-day mass incarceration.
Their latest report, “Contested Terrain: A Historical Walk Through Birmingham’s Linn Park” was written by JCMP Fellows, a group of 20 college and graduate students from Birmingham-area colleges: Jefferson State Community College, Samford University, Birmingham-Southern College and the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).
MSNBC visits Birmingham in honor of Black History Month
Updated Feb 21, 2021;
Ali Velshi, host of the weekend news show Velshi on MSNBC, came to Birmingham this weekend in honor of Black History Month. While in the Magic City, Velshi spoke with residents of the city about its intense racial history, and how that history shapes the fight for racial justice today.
Birmingham, a city known for its role in the Civil Rights movement, is more than 70 percent Black - one of the Blackest cities in America, according to Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin. Velshi hosted a socially-distanced discussion with five Black Birmingham residents where they talked about the city’s racial history, the COVID-19 pandemic and more.
