BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Ullman High School National Alumni Association has recently received approval from University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) to establish a museum in the Ullman Building at 1205 6th Avenue South in Birmingham, Alabama 35233. This museum will be unique since it will tell the story how one Black school in Birmingham overcame the obstacles that were prevalent in the era of segregated schools. Guests will see evidence of the high quality of education students received at Ullman. These artifacts, files, and memorabilia are a representative sampling of the contributions made by former students and staff who have continued to make great achievements throughout the United States, and indeed, throughout the world.
In the midst of our 50th Year Anniversary Civil Rights events, September 12, was the chosen date to open this extraordinary museum. Mr. Willie Scott, Chairman of Ullman’s History and Archives Committee and one of its oldest alumni, believes Ullman’s flaming torch still lights our path and guides us on our way. President Eugene Sharpe feels that Birmingham and UAB have benefited immensely from Ullman’s legacy of inspired teaching and mentoring of its high school graduates. It is the hope of the National Alumni Association of Ullman High School to inspire future generations and the community by using our rich history and success stories as examples.
The Birmingham community is encouraged to provide donations and help secure memorabilia for the museum. Please contact Mr. Sharpe (205) 836-0309, Mr. Scott (708) 805-0923, or Mr. Smith (205) 934-8188, for more details on how you can make the Ullman Museum a viable resource of our City
