SUMMARY:Alabama Colloquium featuring Imani Perry and David Mathews
DESCRIPTION:On October 23\, the Alabama Humanities Alliance presents the 2023 Alabama Colloquium\, sponsored by Regions. This annual gathering celebrates the power of the humanities — including literature! — to lift up Alabama. We’ll also honor our Alabama Humanities Fellows of 2023: acclaimed scholars\, historians\, and community-builders\, David Mathews and Imani Perry. Both have authored numerous books\, with Perry winning the National Book Award for Nonfiction in 2022. \nThe day’s program will include an enlightening conversation between the honorees\, as well as an introduction of AHA’s newest collaboration\, Healing History. This initiative is designed to strengthen our communities and state by helping neighbor better know neighbor — across race\, religion\, political affiliation\, and all those other frequent dividing lines that shouldn’t keep us apart. \nPost-event\, AHA will offer a limited-capacity listening tour of Wallace House\, run by Klein Arts & Culture in Shelby County. Built in 1841\, the Wallace House was once part of a 5\,000-acre cotton plantation\, which was worked by nearly 100 enslaved people. Today\, descendants of the home’s White landowners and enslaved Black population work together to examine their shared history and create a space for mutual understanding and reconciliation.

SUMMARY:The NewSouth Bookstore in partnership with the Civil Rights Memorial Center hosting Fergus Bordewich
DESCRIPTION:The NewSouth Bookstore is offsite at the Civil Rights Memorial Center on October 18 at 5:30pm\, partnering on a talk with Fergus Bordewich\, author of Klan War: Ulysses S. Grant and the Battle to Save Reconstruction\, which releases just a week earlier. Klan War is a stunning history of the first national anti-terrorist campaign waged on American soil\, when Ulysses S. Grant wielded the power of the federal government to dismantle the KKK. The author’s compelling narrative — by turns\, frightening\, bracing\, and timely — will remind readers that today’s battle between white supremacy and human justice has a long history. Fergus Bordewich is the author of eight previous works of nonfiction\, many award-winning\, which include Bound for Cannan: The Epic Story of the Underground Railroad\, America’s First Civil Rights Movement\, a favorite among customers at our bookstore. Contact Jessala White if you cannot join us for the program and wish to reserve a signed copy of Klan War.

SUMMARY:Ayana Mathis presents THE UNSETTLED\, in conversations with Idrissa N. Snider
DESCRIPTION:Having loved The Twelve Tribes of Hattie\, we are over the moon to host Ayana Mathis in celebration of her much-anticipated second novel THE UNSETTLED. She will be in conversation with scholar and author Dr. Idrissa N. Snider. The event is free\, open to everyone\, and seating is first-come\, first-serve. \n* \nAYANA MATHIS’s first novel\, The Twelve Tribes of Hattie\, was a New York Times best seller\, an NPR Best Book of 2013\, the second selection for Oprah’s Book Club 2.0. and has been translated into sixteen languages. Her nonfiction has been published in The New York Times\, The Atlantic\, Guernica\, and Rolling Stone. Mathis is a graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. She was born in Philadelphia\, and currently lives in New York City where she teaches writing in Hunter College’s MFA Program. \nIdrissa N. Snider\, Ph.D.\, is a womanist scholar and author. Her forthcoming book\, So\, Journey and Tell the Truth: Self-Definitive Exploration of Black American Female Icons\, is slated for release in 2024 with Lexington. It is a fresh look at how Black women posit identity as a force of resistance against political and entertainment spaces that systematically misname and mischaracterize the group. Snider travels the country facilitating talks and lectures on DEI at the crossroads of intersectionality. In addition to Snider’s research\, she is passionate about our youth and supports numerous educational efforts to promote African American history. She frequently writes an opinion column for the Birmingham Times and has taught at The University of Alabama at Birmingham and Samford University\, amongst other colleges and institutes.

SUMMARY:NewSouth Bookstore hosting Victor Luckerson
DESCRIPTION:Victor Luckerson comes home to his native Montgomery for this special bookstore program in connection with the release of his new book\, Built from the Fire: The Epic Story of Tulsa’s Greenwood District\, America’s Black Wall Street\, is a multigenerational saga of a community that in one century survived the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre\, urban renewal\, and gentrification. Jelani Cobb of The New Yorker calls Built from the Fire “an American epic — damning in its implications\, inspirational in its theme of perseverance no matter the obstacles\, and compelling from its opening paragraph to its final sentence.” Victor Luckerson is among the best journalists covering race matters today\, writing for The New Yorker\, The New York Times\, Wired\, and other publications. His first Montgomery appearance since the publication of Built from the Fire is bound to be a fascinating one. Please join us.

SUMMARY:Dr. Lee Farrow Series on 19th-century Russian Writers Begins
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special three-part series on Russia’s great nineteenth-century writers led by Lee Farrow\, Chair of the Department of History and World Cultures at Auburn University at Montgomery. Farrow’s first program will be held Thursday\, September 7\, at 5:30pm. Her topic for the evening will be the work of Alexander Pushkin\, widely considered Russia’s greatest poet\, and his contemporary Nikolai Gogol\, who both critiqued Russian society and government through their writing\, the only way intellectuals could challenge the autocracy in a (relatively) safe manner. Pushkin\, in particular\, highlighted the impotency of Russia’s educated upper class and created the trope of the “superfluous man” that would dominate Russian literature for several decades. Three cheers to Steve Brickley\, whose request for “intellectually stimulating bookstore programming” led us to reach out to Lee Farrow. Our sincere thanks to Dr. Farrow for gifting us with this program. You won’t want to miss it.

SUMMARY:Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald Young Writers Award: Submissions Period
DESCRIPTION:Montgomery\, Alabama native Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald was daring and revolutionary in her life\, art\, and writing\, and The Fitzgerald Museum’s Young Writers Award that bears her name seeks to identify and honor Alabama’s high school students who share her talent and spirit. Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald was inducted into the Alabama Writers Hall of Fame in spring 2020. This award\, which was first given the following year\, celebrates her life and legacy by recognizing the talents and abilities of young Alabama writers. \nGeneral Guidelines: \nThe Fitzgerald Museum’s fourth annual Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald Young Writers Award is accepting submissions of portfolios from young writers who are currently attending high school (grades 9 – 12) in Alabama. Portfolios should contain literary works (stories\, poems\, plays or film scripts\, multi-genre works) totaling 5 to 15 pages with font sizes no smaller than 11 point. Writers are encouraged to include works that are innovative in style\, content\, form\, and/or technique. Literary works may include artwork\, illustrations\, font variations\, and other graphic elements\, but these elements should enhance the work\, not simply decorate the page. \nThe submissions period is open from September 1 until December 31\, 2023. Each student may only enter once. \nPortfolios will be judged holistically\, and only one award will be given each year. The recipient will be announced by March 15\, 2024. \nPortfolios should be submitted through the web form on the Fitzgerald Museum’s website. Due to issues of compatibility\, works should be collected into one PDF named with the author’s first initial [dot] last name [underscore] ZeldaPortfolio (for example\, J.Smith_ZeldaPortfolio.pdf). Questions about the award or the entry process may be sent to contest coordinator Foster Dickson at fitzgeraldliterarycontest@gmail.com\, with “Zelda Fitzgerald Award Question” in the subject line. \nThis year’s judge for the award is Lenore Vickrey. Since 2012\, Vickrey has been the editor of Alabama Living magazine\, which is the largest circulation magazine in the state. She has been a journalist since high school and has more than forty-five years of experience as a newspaper reporter\, editor\, and corporate communicator.

SUMMARY:The Fitzgerald Museum's sixth annual Literary Contest: Submissions Period
DESCRIPTION:F. Scott and Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald were daring and revolutionary in their lives and in their art and writing. More than one hundred years after they met in Montgomery\, Alabama\, the Fitzgeralds’ literary and artistic works from the 1920s and 1930s are still regarded as groundbreaking\, and The Fitzgerald Museum is seeking to identify and honor the daring and revolutionary young writers and artists of this generation. \nCategories: Grades 9–10\, Grades 11–12\, Undergraduate \nGeneral Guidelines for 2023 – 2024: \nThe Fitzgerald Museum’s sixth annual Literary Contest is accepting submissions of short fiction\, poetry\, ten-minute plays\, film scripts\, and multi-genre works that exhibit the theme “The Best Postman in the World\,” which comes from lines in Act III of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1923 stage play The Vegetable. This theme implies works about ambition\, the pursuit of a goal\, or excellence in one’s work. Works with traditional forms and styles will be accepted for judging\, yet writers are encouraged to send works that utilize innovative forms and techniques. Literary works may include artwork\, illustrations\, font variations\, and other graphic elements\, with the caveat that these elements should enhance the work\, not simply decorate the page. \nThe submissions period is open from September 1 until December 31\, 2023. Works will be judged within three separate age categories\, not by genre\, so please be clear about the age category. Submissions should not exceed ten pages (with font sizes no smaller than 11 point). Each student may only enter once. Awards will be announced by March 15\, 2024. Each age/grade category will have a single winner and possibly an honorable mention. \nWorks should be submitted through the web form available on the Fitzgerald Museum’s website. Due to issues of compatibility\, works should be submitted as PDF to ensure that they appear as the author intends. Files should be named with the author’s first initial [dot] last name [underscore] title. For example\, J.Smith_InnovativeStory.pdf. Questions about the contest or the entry process may be sent to contest coordinator Foster Dickson at fitzgeraldliterarycontest@gmail.com\, with “Literary Contest Question” in the subject line. \nThis year’s judges are Zestlan Simmons for the undergraduate category and Jim Hilgartner for the high school categories. Zestlan Simmons is an alumni of the Carver Creative and Performing Arts Center’s creative writing component and has been a high school English teacher for more than twenty years. She was the 2018 Alabama Teacher of the Year. Jim Hilgartner is a fiction writer and teacher who has published work in ACM: Another Chicago Magazine\, Greensboro Review\, Mid-American Review\, New Orleans Review\, Vermont Literary Review\, Xavier Review\, and elsewhere. He has also served as fiction editor at Black Warrior Review\, THAT Literary Review\, and (currently) Thirteen Bridges Review. Hilgartner retired as Professor of English at Huntingdon College in 2023. \nThe Literary Contest’s annual themes honor and reflect upon the Fitzgeralds’ literary legacy. The inaugural contest had as its theme “What’s Old is New\,” which encouraged students to look to tradition for inspiration. For the second year\, the theme “Love + Marriage” celebrated the centennial of the couple’s courtship and marriage. In year three\, “The Education of a Personage” centered on themes of growth and maturing aligned with the centennial of Scott’s debut novel This Side of Paradise. Year four harkened back to 1921’s The Beautiful and the Damned with the theme “The Radiant Hour.” Last year’s theme\, “Unclassified Masterpieces\,” honored the anniversary of the 1922 story collection Tales from the Jazz Age. While these themes do parallel the Fitzgerald’s literary and personal history\, they are intended to guide students to consider and examine the present and the future as Scott and Zelda did in their day.
