Rosedale High School, 1959

Rosedale was settled in the late 19th century on a rugged hillside in the shadow of
Red Mountain. Pioneering African Americans cleared the land, creating a community that
once included what is now downtown Homewood. Following the desegregation of Homewood
schools and parks, Rosedale lost the schools, parks and swimming facility that
had been the centers of community life. -- from
