In June 2021, the Alabama Historical Association Board of Directors voted to support the creation of History Revealed, a pilot program to assist local communities in placing historical markers that documented underrepresented aspects of Alabama history. Over the next five years, the Association bore the full cost of erecting nine markers under the new program.

​

• The Bryce Hospital Coal Mine Disaster (Tuscaloosa County)

• Enslaved at Old Elyton (Jefferson County)

• The Florence Mound (Lauderdale County) 

• Green Valley Missionary Baptist Church (Henry County) 

• Horace King (Russell County) 

• Kennedy Field (Macon County) 

• The Lowndesboro School (Lowndes County)

• Parker-Hayes Boarding House (Morgan County)

• United States Colored Troops at Blakeley (Baldwin County)

​
