Churches of the Alabama Black Belt: Clarke County by Jackson Knight is a stunning photographic exploration of the historic churches of Alabama’s Black Belt—one county at a time.
Using drone photography, Knight captures each church from a fresh, elevated perspective, highlighting both their architecture and their place within the surrounding landscape. This volume includes as many standing churches as could be located in Clarke County, preserving their stories through compelling images and thoughtful documentation.
Rooted in his own family history in Monroe and southern Wilcox Counties, Knight’s work honors the deep cultural and spiritual heritage of the Black Belt region. This 191-page book offers a meaningful look at the past—and the communities that continue to gather in these sacred spaces today.
