Historic Coca-Cola Wall Ad

Here is part of the historic Coca-Cola Bottling Co. wall advertisement on Lauderdale Street. The sign above it is pretty much explanatory. I'lll post a photo of the other part later.

WELCOME!

Selma is among the oldest cities in Alabama and has the largest contiguous historic district. It is known for its Civil War and Civil Rights history. The Battle of Selma was one of the last fought in the War Between the States, and the town was a center for the Voting Rights Movement in the 1960s. Today, with a population of about 20,000, Selma is the largest town in the western Black Belt region. The Black Belt, named for the color of its soil, stretches across Central Alabama from Mississippi to Georgia.
