In the mid-20th century, the North and Southside neighborhoods of New Albany were cultural hubs and home to thriving black-owned businesses. B.B King played at a café in New Albany, and Blues musician Sam Mosely traces his musical roots to this community. This history has largely been neglected, and community leaders are interested in collecting narratives to ensure that future generations are aware of this unique and compelling period. There is also a desire to tell this story in conjunction with marketing and tourism efforts for New Albany.
