Carbon dioxide, produced when carbon is burned and from biological processes, makes up about 0.03% of the air, and carbon occurs in Earth's crust as carbonate rocks and the hydrocarbons in coal, petroleum, and natural gas.
Carbon occurs in all organic life and is the basis of organic chemistry.
A New Deal for Carbon Hill, Alabama (1002 words)
Carbon Hill's savvy utilization of federal resources was just what William C. Pryor was looking for: a local success story that could promote the Roosevelt Administration's ambitious national program of relief, reform and recovery.
These 43 images represent an incomplete record of Pryor's photo documentary trip to Carbon Hill; for example, some of the photographs noted by Pryor in his introductory essay "Carbon Hill, Alabama" (Source), were not found in the National Archives collection.
Although Carbon Hill's African American community is briefly documented in the Pryor's photographs, not much is said about Jim Crow in Carbon Hill, although the photograph of Rev. McCall's C.M.E. church, compared to those of the white Baptist and Methodist churches, presents a stark contrast between the economic condition of Carbon Hill whites and fls.
