Description
Alabama and Birmingham’s industry enjoyed the most economically successful period in its history during World War I, while supplying iron for the war effort. Just over 10 years later though, many called Birmingham the hardest-hit city in the country during the Great Depression. With almost all of Birmingham’s industry shutting down, it took government policies, another world war and sheer willpower to keep Birmingham and Alabama’s industrial hopes alive. OLLI Bonuses are open to the public and a great introduction to the benefits of our membership program. For more information, visit www.olli.ua.edu or call 205-348-6482.
