Harper Lee, Annie Lucas Brown and Mary Murphy
Mary Murphy is the author of great new book on Too Kill a Mockingbird. I just left this note at her blog so maybe she can come to Collinsville and the Library Board and former Mayor can explain some of their actions to her:
Mary:
I testified about what TKAM meant to me and got published in the online version of the Anniston Star. You may want to check that site for the several statements that made the Print issue about a couple months ago.
I may put my offering up at my blog and or here in short time.
Friend of mine who was former book page editor of the Charlotte Observer, a great fan of TKAM himself thought I did an "outstanding job."
I am about to blog and reference you site about one of many Atticus Finches I have come across; Earl Stalling of the FBC Birmingham, Al in 1963. He was there when Dianne McWhorter plans were frustrated trying to get down town to the Alabama Theatre to see the movie.
I'm reading your book and getting the word out.
Great service you have done to our country; no kidding.
Do check out my blog on Stallings
While I have it near at hand, check this great lecture about Civil Rights and Dietrich Bonhoeffer from Berlin, March of this Year.

And Google Jonahtan Bass book Blessed Are the Peacemakers and read the story there about Stallings; Great Stuff
Stephen Fox
Collinsville, Al where my Grandfather Jordan ran for School board in the nineteen teens as a Lincoln Republican as was soundly defeated.
End Quote from submission to her site:
Several great testimonies there from Scott Turow--Mark Morgan may like that one--Dianne McWhorter and Piedmont, Alabama's Rick Bragg; Tom Brokaw, Oprah, and a Black woman from Selma, Alabama who teaches English there.
Quite frankly I always thought Paul Hemphill's Leaving Birmingham was a better take on the city than McWhorter's; but I have to give it to Dianne, her story on going to school with Scout, Mary Oldham, in Mtn Brook and going downtown to see TKAM at the Alabama Theatre when King's Children were marching and President Kennedy was watching on the Huntley Brinkley Newshour, and Earl Stallings was preaching to Albert Lee Smiths wider network, the folks Hugo Black left behind in Bham; that's a great story as are they all.
Must read for any of you who care about Alabama and want to witness to our friends Lowell Barron and Rick Lance and Bob Terry and various Baptist Deacons across the state.
