Dora Franklin Finley African-American Heritage Trail of Mobile Historical Markers

Originally formed as the "The Black Heritage Trail" in 2007, and was later renamed the current "Dora Franklin Finley African-American Heritage Trail of Mobile". The mission of the trail is to educate, preserve and mark the historic contributions of African-Americans in Mobile. The markers enlighten Mobile's culturally diverse heritage by linking historic contributions and events with significant locations. Forgotten chapters of history are remembered through stories of courage.
