SUMMARY:Stowe Prize Series: The Phillips Manuscript and "James: A Novel"
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\n77 Forest St\, Hartford | Zoom\n6:00 – 7:30 PM EST\, Presentation and audience Q&A\nRiverbend Bookshop: Get a 10% discount our Stowe Prize books! Mention us at check-out or use STOWEFORCHANGE for online purchases.\nWith gratitude to our funders for their support\n\n\nRegister to Attend in Person\nRegister to Attend Virtually\n\nDr. Chris Hager\, professor at Trinity College\, will discuss the role of writing and literacy in the life of Dr. Phillips as it relates to the creation of the manuscript in relation to or in conversation with these themes in the novel James. \n\nThe Stowe Prize Series continues with a powerful exploration of history\, storytelling\, and the enduring struggle for freedom. \nThis year\, we bring into conversation two remarkable works: the recently discovered Phillips Manuscript\, which documents the extraordinary life of Dr. William H. Phillips\, and Percival Everett’s award-winning novel James. The Phillips Manuscript will be on display at each gathering. \nBorn enslaved in Virginia in 1841\, Dr. Phillips went on to become a nationally respected minister at Shiloh Baptist Church in Philadelphia. His life touches on pivotal events of 19th-century America and illuminates the resilience\, courage\, and intellect of Black Americans before and after emancipation. His story resonates with the themes of Everett’s James\, which reframes the story of Huck Finn through the eyes of Jim. \nTogether\, these works invite us to reflect on the essential question:What is the role of storytelling and narrative in our understanding of history and our current culture?
