About the Marion 9- The Marion 9 were a group of 9 freed slaves who created the Lincoln Normal School in Marion, Alabama, in 1867. With $500 and a dream, these nine brave men created a school to provide educational opportunities for African American children. The Lincoln Normal School would eventually become Alabama State University. Because of their vision and investment, The Marion 9 are considered the founders of ASU. The Marion 9 Scholarships were created to commemorate the memory and sacrifice of those nine individuals.
