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.

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.
