"The Cullman Democrat was established about 25 years after the first newspaper to publish in the town named for the famous German settler, John G. Cullman. While it came relatively late on the scene, its circulation soon grew to match that of the most successful Alabama weekly newspapers. The Democrat was first published by Major W.F. Palmer in June of 1901. Palmer sold the paper to R.L. and J.E. Griffin in 1902, but by the end of January of 1903, the paper was purchased by Joseph Robert Rosson. The Democrat remained in control of the Rosson family for man years after."--Publisher's description

The Cullman Banner published from July 1937 until about 1952. It was established by Jack N. Huie and his older brother, William Bradford Huie. The Banner published in competition with the older established county papers, the Cullman Tribune and the Cullman Democrat. William Bradford Huie soon moved on to another job in California leaving his brother Jack and a handful of associates in charge of the fledgling paper. Jack ran the paper until he joined the Armed Services during WWII. In 1944, the paper was sold to Claudia Kinney, mother of Probate Judge Horace H. Kinney. Claudia ran the paper for a few years and hired a procession of new editors and business managers. In 1949 the paper was sold to Alexander and Hudson Miller, who ran the paper until it was sold again in 1952 to Robert Bryan and associates and renamed the Modernistic Times. The name "Modernistic" was soon dropped and the paper became knows as the Cullman Times. The editor of the Cullman Democrat retired in 1954 and that paper was bought by Bryan and associates. Each paper published for the next few years under its own name until the papers merged in 1961 and published daily under the name the Times-Democrat. The word "Democrat" was dropped in 1963. The history of a county is written in the pages of its newspapers. These papers contain information found in no other source. You are sure to enjoy reading about Cullman events of many decades ago.

"The Leighton News was first established by Fred W. McCormack in 1890 as a small 5x8 sheet. It soon expanded to a traditional size but later suspended publication because the profit margin was too slim. No issues from that time were available for review. After a while, McCormack kept a promise to the people of Leighton and renewed publication of the News in 1894. Each issue was examined column by column with a view for capturing items of a genealogical interest such as reports of births, marriages, deaths, and obituaries. In addition, other clippings were transcribed having to do with the history of Colbert and Lawrence County, as well as the rest of the surrounding Tennessee Valley area."--Publisher's description

A groundbreaking contribution to the history of the "long Civil Rights movement," Hammer and Hoe tells the story of how, during the 1930s and 40s, Communists took on Alabama's repressive, racist police state to fight for economic justice, civil and political rights, and racial equality. The Alabama Communist Party was made up of working people without a Euro-American radical political tradition: devoutly religious and semiliterate black laborers and sharecroppers, and a handful of whites, including unemployed industrial workers, housewives, youth, and renegade liberals. In this book, Robin D. G. Kelley reveals how the experiences and identities of these people from Alabama's farms, factories, mines, kitchens, and city streets shaped the Party's tactics and unique political culture. The result was a remarkably resilient movement forged in a racist world that had little tolerance for radicals. After discussing the book's origins and impact in a new preface written for this twenty-fifth-anniversary edition, Kelley reflects on what a militantly antiracist, radical movement in the heart of Dixie might teach contemporary social movements confronting rampant inequality, police violence, mass incarceration, and neoliberalism.
