Talk:Francis Falkenburg

Notes

• Rollin K. Stonebrook was manager of the Alabama Theatre in the early '30s, but I don't know if he was the immediate predecessor of Falkenburg.
• The UAB School of Nursing has a Francis S. Falkenburg Endowed Nursing Scholarship, but I'm uncertain if this was named for the same individual.

• There was also a Francis Falkenburg, "prominent Birmingham businessman" who was in talks to bring a a Major Indoor Soccer League team to Birmingham in the late 1970s [1]. This is most likely a son of the theatre manager. --Dystopos 11:33, 11 October 2006 (PDT)
  • A Francis S. Falkenburg is listed as part of the Freedom Train Planning Committee and part of the group pushing for more-than-the-usual-segregration-precautions during the train's visit on December 29, 1947. [2] --Dystopos 11:37, 11 October 2006 (PDT)

Sorry, I saw those after a Google search, too, and should have noted them as well. A trivia note: Some theaters segregated by having blacks sit in the balcony, but I believe the Alabama was "whites only" until the late '60s. --Lkseitz 13:07, 11 October 2006 (PDT)
