Alabama Story (Drama)

Synopsis

A gentle children’s book with an apparent hidden message stirs the passions of a segregationist senator and a no-nonsense state librarian in 1959 Montgomery, just as the civil rights movement is ﬂowering. Inspired by true events, Alabama Story puts political foes, star-crossed childhood friends, and one feisty children’s author on the same page to conjure a Deep South of the Imagination.

SETTING & TIME 1959 Place: Montgomery, Alabama; The Deep South; and Beyond.
