The Selma Dallas County Historic Preservation Society (SDCHPS) will welcome historical author and photographer Jackson Knight on Tuesday, Aug. 6.Â
Knight is the author of "Churches of the Black Belt," a series that includes Dallas, Wilcox, and Monroe counties and he is working on publishing books for Lowndes and Perry counties. He also authored "Rambling the Black Belt."Â
"His decision to start such an ambitious project was prompted by attempting to photograph the remaining fire towers in the state of Alabama," said a press release from SDCHPS. "While most are no longer serviceable his love for fire towers was prompted by his grandfather who was a tower man. Thus one love has prompted other projects."
Knight will deliver a presentation on his books at SDCHPS at 5:30 p.m. On the following day he will visit the Orrville Farmers Market at 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.Â
