Hahn Lecture Opens Carter Arts and Lecture Series September 13 in Bainbridge

The American South has served as a popular topic for scholars, artists, musicians and film makers for decades. A lecture by Dr. Steven Hahn will showcase the rich history of southern states on Sept. 13 in the opening event of the Carter Arts and Lecture Series at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Bainbridge.

At 7 p.m. in the Kirbo Center Auditorium, Hahn, an American historian from New York University, will speak on “Reconstruction at 150.” In this lecture, curated by the Organization of American Historians, Hahn paints an insightful image of the ways reconstruction has shaped the South in the last 150 years and how the past and present connect.
