Chip Herrington and the Mobile Big Band Society

I don't know what I expected when I scheduled an interview with Chip Herrington to talk about his band. Still, I really didn't expect him to arrive at the Bluegill on his motorcycle, dressed in a coat and tie, just coming from the Courthouse where he had an arraignment. An attorney and a musician, with an easy demeanor, I knew this was going to be fun!

Collaborations are fun. Different people and organizations unite for a common cause, making a difference in our communities. Collaborations are also important. When progress and growth encroach on the natural beauty of our coastline, some unintended consequences happen. Mother Nature plays her part as well.

Honoring Black History: Black Education Museum

From the years 1889 to 1950, the only local high school for Black students’ education was located at 1000 Main Street in Daphne. As the first school built to educate African American children, The Eastern Shore Baptist Academy (its original name) was built on 18 acres of land purchased by the Eastern Shore Missionary Baptist Association. This was back in 1882; in 1892, the Association constructed a dormitory to house Black children who lived throughout the county, as well as those attending from surrounding counties.
