Celebrating 35 Years of Tocqueville
UWCA’s Tocqueville Society, founded on March 27, 1986, shared stories from various members during the society’s 35th Anniversary in 2021. We highlighted members every Tuesday on social media with Tocqueville Tuesday. Enjoy the videos below as they reflect on memories through the years and what Tocqueville means to them.
Since 1986, more than $228 million has been invested in Central Alabama through the generosity of the Tocqueville Society.
