ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTOGRAPHS Mayor Alberta McCrory looks through old photos of the town of Hobson City, Ala. Once a thriving small town where black people were in charge in the midst of the Jim Crow South, Hobson City has been listed on the Alabama Historical Commission's list of "Places in Peril." "It was never a rich town, but it was a good place to raise children," Ms. McCrory said.
