Wayne Flynt, professor emeritus in the department of history, will give his lecture, “An Interdisciplinary Approach to Understanding Alabama: Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird, Go Set a Watchman and Small Southern Towns,” at the Auburn Public Library at 749 E. Thach Ave. on Monday, July 20, at 3 p.m.
Chris Warren, library director, said Flynt will be speaking about how Lee's books, "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Go Set a Watchman," depict the South.
"Reading those books can provide insight on the culture and politics in the South," Warren said.
Warren said he hopes the lecture will draw a large crowd. He also said Flynt is a nationally recognized scholar in Southern culture.
"We're very excited about [the event]," Warren said.
The event is free and open to the public.
