Talladega’s Ritz Theatre (circa 1936) is considered one of the best surviving examples of the Art Deco mainstreet theatres of the 1930’s. Careful restoration of the landmark’s extraordinary facade – comprised exclusively of opaque structural glass, a common construction material used lavishly during the Deco period in buildings like the Rockefeller Center in New York City – was completed in late 1997 with perfectly matched antique vitrolite glass by renowned St. Louis artisan Timothy J. Dunn.

The historic Ritz Theatre reopened on February 16, 1998 as the premiere performing arts center of East Central Alabama with a concert by the National Symphony String Quintet.

In 1938 Alabama’s Talladega College commissioned acclaimed African American artist Hale Woodruff to paint six large-scale murals portraying the Amistad mutiny and its aftermath, as well as the founding of Talladega College. The High Museum partnered with Talladega College on the removal, extensive conservation treatment, and multi-city tour of the mural series.

Talladega College, Alabama's first private historically black liberal arts college, has been known for academic excellence for over 150 years. Their history began in 11865, when two former slaves met in convention with a group of freedmen in Mobile to make the commitment: "...We regard the education of our children and youths as vital to the preservation of our liberties, and true religion as the foundation of all real virtue, and shall use our utmost endeavors to promote these blessings in our common country."

Manning Hall, on the Talladega campus of the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind (AIDB), is one of the school's original buildings, constructed in the mid-1850s. The building is shown here in a 1939 photo by Frances Benjamin Johnson for the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the American South. The building currently houses the president's office and other administrative departments as well as an exhibit section called "Sight and Sound" with displays on history and technology relating to vision and hearing impairments and education.

The International Motorsports Hall of Fame enshrines those who have contributed the most to motorsports either as a developer, driver, engineer or owner. The IMHOF was established in early 1970 following NASCAR founder Bill France Sr.'s decision to hire short track racing promoter Don Naman to build a museum and hall of fame in order "to preserve the history of motorsports and to enshrine forever the people who have been responsible for its growth."
