Organized in 1870 by Revs. T. Glenn, D. Phillips, I. M. Pollard and
others. This body operates chiefly in Lee, Macon and Tallapoosa
counties. In the beginning of Selma University they contributed largely
toward its establishment, and have since given it liberal support.
Lately, however, they are struggling, under the leadership of Mr. and
Mrs. Wells, to plant a school in Opelika. They number about 8,000
members.
