SUMMARY:Wednesday\, September 25 at 5pm at The NewSouth Bookstore: Rachelle Zola on her 754-mile pilgrimage for social change
DESCRIPTION:She’s white. She’s 75.

Her extraordinary story is one worth telling. Come hear more about the inspiration for her journey\, her experiences along the way\, and her deeply felt conviction that we should together\, always\, honor the ideal of equity for all. At The NewSouth Bookstore on Wednesday\, September 25\, at 5pm\, an event co-sponsored by the Baha’is of Montgomery.

SUMMARY:Tuesday\, September 17 at 5:30pm at The NewSouth Bookstore: Jim Morris\, author of The Cancer Factory

The story concerns a group of Goodyear Tire and Rubber workers who were exposed to toxic chemicals\, the lawyer who sought justice on their behalf\, and the shameful lack of protection our society affords all workers. With four decades of reporting behind him\, the author offers an authoritative and chilling account that is also a clarion call for change.

SUMMARY:BRITTANY HOWARD & JASON ISBELL: IN CONVERSATION
DESCRIPTION:Part of the 2024 Alabama Colloquium series\, this event features an in-depth conversation between Grammy-winning musicians and songwriters Brittany Howard and Jason Isbell. The duo will be recognized as Alabama Humanities Fellows for how they use the humanities — and their Alabama roots — to lift others up and bring us together. Their powerful storytelling challenges us all to think\, to empathize\, and to explore what it means to be human. Howard and Isbell will be presented their awards by Patterson Hood\, another legendary north Alabama musician and songwriter. \nThis event is a benefit for the Alabama Humanities Alliance\, a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization that provides public programming and grant opportunities statewide. For 50 years\, storytelling has remained at the heart of AHA’s mission. When we share — and listen — to each other’s stories\, what we’re really doing is getting to know each other better. We’re linking the past to the present. And we’re discovering the common ground\, and the common humanity\, that binds us all.

The poems explore the work it takes to measure cuts for the stairs\, to haul water up the mountain\, to write. The Braziels will read from and share the experiences behind this new work\, as conceptually interesting as the dwelling space it commemorates. Join us!
