If you are in Montgomery or can be here on Thursday, make plans to attend the "Architreats" event at the Department of Archives and History at Noon. Former Alabama Congressman Glen Browder will speak about the first of a trilogy of books he is writing about Southern History. The first is titled "The South's New Racial Politics: Inside the Race Game of Southern History". From the Archives website:
This ‘Bonus’ ArchiTreats presentation is in addition to the regular series of
third-Thursday free lectures presented by the Alabama Department of Archives and
History. The public is invited to bring a sack lunch and enjoy a bit of Alabama
history. Coffee and tea will be provided by the Friends of the Alabama Archives. For
more information, call (334) 353-4712.
Congressman Browder was kind enough to send me an advance copy of much of the first volume and I recommend it to students of our state's history!
