Unwritten: Archaeology and Oral History of Jim Crow Mobile shares the stories of three families from Mobile: The Lewis Family of Africatown, the Owens Family of Down the Bay, and the Griffin Family, who lived off the Avenue. Their lives are explored through the archaeology of their homes and oral history interviews with community members.

This virtual exhibit was built and coded by Cassandra Bakotic Wagner and Nicholas Wagner and is based on a physical exhibit that was featured at the University of South Alabama Archaeology Museum from Fall 2023-Spring 2024.
