My CHANDLER, DUNCAN and
MORRIS families all spring from
Talladega County.
Talladega College is located here, it
is Alabama's oldest historically African American, private, four-year liberal arts college.
It was founded in 1867 by freedmen William Savery and Thomas Tarrant, who were assisted by General
Wagner Swayne of the Freedmen's Bureau and the American Missionary Association.
