Visit to the Murals of Talladega College and Savery Library

The city of Talladega has such rich history and we were able to visit one such place with the Ambassadors. Students toured the library and heard the story of The Amistad Murals and The 1942 Mural Series. The Amistad Murals were commissioned by the Board of Trustees of Talladega College to pay homage to the American Missionary Association for its role in founding Talladega College. The murals were completed and unveiled at the dedication of the newly constructed Savery Library on April 15, 1939.

On April 26, 1942, a new series of three murals were unveiled and dedicated as part of the celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the College. The new murals depict an Underground Railroad Scene, the opening Day of school at Talladega College and the building of Savery Library.
