By far the vest "Fairhope" video. Thoroughly enjoyed it. My son and I first moved to Fairhope(lived on Morphy) in 1979 right after "Frederick"...moved away to take care of parents then moved back in 1998 and lived on Pomelo. My health caused me to move to Daphne in 2018 but my heart always lies in Fairhope! Thank you so much for this film! ❤❤❤
FANTASTIC PRODUCTION. SO PROUD TO BE FROM SUCH A PLACE.
whats it like living there? much different?
@@durtygroove you live there?
Very Cool! Thank you FSTC for sharing this video of Fairhope's history with the world! Graham was an excellent and energetic narrator.
Wonderful documentary!
This should be required viewing for every new Fairhope resident to appreciate those who made Fairhope what it is; and to set expectations for new residents to contribute of themselves to continue to make Fairhope a special place
I miss you my brother. God speed Grammy don't forget to bore a hole and pull me through when my time comes. ❤️
I appreciate your comment and am happy you are viewing our information. In my opinion, Fairhope is an inclusive, nurturing community for all of its 23,900+ citizens. Caucasions make up ab 89.7% and African Americans ab 4.5%. I am a member of a group - the "Hope Community" fostering candid conversations about the detrimental impacts of racial bias and predispositions. We meet monthly to discuss Ideas for heightened communication and collaboration in a multicultural and multiracial organization that brings people together to unite as one human race. " We also show up in force to support City decisions that affect our Black community - such as water and sewage issues. www.healthylivinghealthyplanet.com/article/2020/7/29/embracing-differences-in-utopia. .
I volunteer in several organizations and know each welcome multicultural participation. In addition, we have an African American on our Fairhope City Council, Fairhopers of all races marched in town during Black Lives Matter and from what I regularly see on the streets and various community events, everyone is welcome and treated with respect. Not sure where you live now, but the South has changed drastically from our very dark history. I will soon catalog our most recent Fairhope History Lecture Series videos that include an excellent lecture on Fairhope African American History that had a huge audience.

No disrespect intended but this first century doc whitewashes the history of the city, as it makes no mention at all of part of it's community of people who have also helped to build this historical town and shows no diversity or representation of the African-American community nor the part it has played in its history. I currently live in DC, work in Africa and have lived globally, so my persective is wide. As when I was a child, while visiting Fairhope recently people of color did not seem to have much of a presence in the downtown area. I went for beignets and coffee, shopped and ate out and not once did I see another person of color in the settings I visited. I can only presume they didn't feel very comfortable. Fairhope is not know for it's inclusivity or diversity. This however can change and will only come about through engaging with the community and collaborating. Perhaps more on furture events and docs like the one covered by my family here...

For example, the man mentioned in the documentary above who worked for the coffee importer from Italy is Big Pap and is said to have sold his ice cream recipe to the fairhope creamery. Interestingly enough, he worked for an Italian immigrant turned socialite through importing coffee and generations later I as a decendent of Big Papa work with coffee farmers in Africa to promote access to markets and decolonize the coffee secotor. In another time my great grandfather, who was an entrepreneur just might have opened his own creamery where it not for the racist history of the south.
I'll tell you from personal experience that fairhope is one of the most racist places in South Alabama. You can blow smoke up people's ass all you want. And why even bring up how inclusive it is to the black community? Lol. May as well say "Hey we like y'all n*****s come see for yourself!!" Uppity judgmental white people. That's Fairhope in a nutshell.
Is actually hilarious watching racist people try to act like they're not. 🤣🤣
My family has been rooted in Fairhope and has played a part in its history, which is also documented by Helen Weeks/Houston in "Fairhope Stories Vol 1". What's evident is the lack of diversity that is represented in this documentary and has been evident in the history of Fairhope. The community was not very inclusive of the descents of African heritage. The child of an Airforce family, I grew up traveling the world but clearly remember coming home to visit my grandmother Almeda in Houstonville area, a settlement of my ancestors in Fairhope, and seeing crosses burning in ditches. A KKK activity, this is also a dark history of Fairhope. Hopefully, the community is now more inclusive but I recently made a visit home and didn't notice much difference.
