pWotD Episode 2871: Alabama Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 153,554 views on Wednesday, 12 March 2025 our article of the day is Alabama.Alabama ( AL-ə-BAM-ə) is a state in the Southeastern region of the United States. It borders Tennessee to the north, Georgia to the east, Florida and the Gulf of Mexico to the south, and Mississippi to the west. Alabama is the 30th largest by area, and the 24th-most populous of the 50 U. S. states.Alabama is nicknamed the Yellowhammer State, after the state bird. Alabama is also known as the "Heart of Dixie" and the "Cotton State". The state has diverse geography, with the north dominated by the mountainous Tennessee Valley and the south by Mobile Bay, a historically significant port. Alabama's capital is Montgomery, and its largest city by population and area is Huntsville. Its oldest city is Mobile, founded by French colonists (Alabama Creoles) in 1702 as the capital of French Louisiana. Greater Birmingham is Alabama's largest metropolitan area and its economic center. Politically, as part of the Deep South, or "Bible Belt", Alabama is a predominantly conservative state and is known for its Southern culture. Within Alabama, American football, particularly at the college level, plays a major part of the state's culture.Originally home to many native tribes, present-day Alabama was a Spanish territory beginning in the sixteenth century until the French acquired it in the early eighteenth century. The British won the territory in 1763 until losing it in the American Revolutionary War. Spain held Mobile as part of Spanish West Florida until 1813. In December 1819, Alabama was recognized as a state. During the antebellum period, Alabama was a major producer of cotton and widely used African American slave labor. In 1861, the state seceded from the United States to become part of the Confederate States of America, with Montgomery acting as its first capital, and rejoined the Union in 1868. Following the American Civil War, Alabama would suffer decades of economic hardship, in part due to agriculture and a few cash crops being the main driver of the state's economy. Similar to other former slave states, Alabamian legislators employed Jim Crow laws from the late 19th century up until the 1960s. High-profile events such as the Selma to Montgomery marches made the state a major focal point of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s.During and after World War II, Alabama grew as the state's economy diversified with new industries. In 1960, the establishment of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville helped boost Alabama's economic growth by developing a local aerospace industry. Alabama's economy in the 21st century is based on automotive, finance, tourism, manufacturing, aerospace, mineral extraction, healthcare, education, retail, and technology.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:17 UTC on Thursday, 13 March 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Alabama on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Matthew.

Being on the leading edge of ideas and technology energizes me, especially when they are helping to make humanity and our earth a little healthier and happier. Cindy entered the corporate world by helping to build AT&T's very first internet service, WorldNet, at the then corporate headquarters in NJ. She then went on to serve as VP of Sales and Marketing for one of the first commercial search engines in the U.S. (Magellan) in San Francisco. It was an energizing roller-coaster of a ride and she saw what was happening in technology and media and decided to move back home to Alabama. Cindy then founded AL.com, working in concert with the newspapers in the state. We started at ground zero and worked to build it into a $20M/yr digital media company. Bham Now was born out of this vision, which moved her to Birmingham to start the new media company. Her team is focused on creating and publishing digital content with a customer first mindset; helping them connect and stay informed all while supporting the Greater Birmingham community. Local people and local businesses are the two loves of her life.

Join us in our interview with Melanie Bridgeforth, the president and CEO of The Women's Fund of Greater Birmingham, an organization that connects women and their families to resources for economic opportunity. She begins with a great quote from Justice Ginsberg: “Women belong in all places where decisions are being made.” The Women's Fund is focused on funding for gender equity, where their mission is informed through research and rooted in philanthropy. Listen to the astounding numbers she gives us on the statistics of women in the workforce. She explains that there would be an increase of $1.6 billion in wages if women in Alabama met the national average in the workforce. The Women's Fund is dedicated to investing in the state to improve conditions for women in all areas, but with special consideration for women and infant mortality rates during birth. Here are some noteworthy points: - Political, civil, and philanthropic engagement: Our power as women rests in these pillars. - We have to invest through our voice, giving, and votes to narrow the gap of the burden we face and what reward we get in return Something she wants women to remember: You don't have to be a millionaire to be a philanthropist. She gives the analogy of a car that is barreling down the street and hitting people. The natural inclination is to go check on the people… but who is stopping the car? That is the role of the Women's Fund, to help mobilize the community and provide resources to make a difference. To learn more about The Women's Fund, visit here!
