Bessemer is a city southwest of Birmingham in Jefferson County, Alabama, United States eight miles (13 km) west of Hoover. The population was 27,456 at the 2010 Census.
The town was founded in the postbellum era by the Bessemer Land and Improvement Company, owned by coal magnate Henry F. DeBardeleben, after he had inherited Daniel Pratt's investments. The mayor and councilmen voted to incorporate the city of Bessemer on September 9, 1887.
According to U.S. Census records, since Bessemer first appeared on the 1890 census, it has the distinction of always having had a Black majority of residents. It is the only community in Jefferson County known to have that distinction, leading 15 other incorporated and unincorporated communities in the county that had or have a Black majority since after 1870. Neighboring Brighton became the second town to become majority Black in 1920 and Fairfield third in 1930. Birmingham achieved that in 1980. In 2010, three more communities transitioned from White to Black majorities, including Center Point, Forestdale, and Tarrant. Conversely, North Johns transitioned from a Black majority to a White plurality that year. That was the first reverse transition since Fairfield in 1960.

The 2016 F150 introduced a brand new feature for the segment called Pro Trailer Backup Assist. Today's tutorial will show you how to set up Pro Trailer Backup Assist for F150. What this feature allows you to do is control the direction of the trailer at the twist of a knob! This technology has been 10 years in the making, and now introduced to the F150 as a first-in-class feature! What do you think?
