Bogue Chitto /boʊɡ ˈtʃɪtə/ is an unincorporated community in Dallas County, Alabama.

"[2] In the early 1900s, the population consisted of black landowners whose ancestors had been enslaved on the cotton-producing plantations and had bought land there after the American Civil War ended.

A spirit of independence, caused by landownership, prevented even the Ku Klux Klan from infringing upon their rights: "Local lore had it that the Klan came calling one night, looking for a Bogue Chitto man who had refused to doff his hat to a white man and say 'Yessir'.

Amelia Platts, a "black home demonstration agent" ("community clubs" had been opened throughout Dallas County to help improve the lives of African-American farmers and their families) who attended the county nurse during the process, noted an active community spirit.

Later, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee got four volunteers from Bogue Chitto and a minister from a church just south of the community to help with voter registration efforts in the area.
