Building Bridges: Samyra Snoddy on Civil Rights, Culture, and Community
In this episode of Coffee and History, we sit down with Samyra Snoddy—community leader, founder of the West Alabama Multicultural Alliance, and a driving force behind the Tuscaloosa Civil Rights Trail. Samyra shares the powerful story of Bloody Tuesday, the legacy of Reverend T.Y. Rogers and Reverend Thomas Linton, and the importance of preserving Tuscaloosa’s civil rights history. We also explore her work creating the Tuscaloosa Heritage Festival, celebrating global cultures through music, food, and storytelling. From museum preservation to youth education, Samyra’s vision for a more inclusive and informed Tuscaloosa shines through. It’s a joyful, inspiring, and deeply meaningful conversation. Coffee & History: A Conversation with Alabama Heritage is brought to you in partnership with the Poarch Creek Indians.
