The presentation by Dr. Richard Bailey will be held at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 11, in the Earl McDonald Auditorium.
“Rock In a Weary Land: The Black Church in Nineteenth Century Ala-bama,” showcases the wide influence of the nineteenth-century black church in Alabama. Attendees will receive a bibliography, a list of church-related schools, a list showing denominational history and photos of several historic black churches.
Bailey is the author of two books on Alabama history, “They Too Call Alabama Home, African American Profiles 1800-1999,” and “Neither Carpetbaggers Nor Scalawags: Black Office holders during the Reconstruction of Alabama, 1867-1878.”
He has been a consultant for the Center for Public Television at The University of Alabama, where he was a consultant for their productions on the Lincoln School of Marion and Reconstruction black officeholders.
Bailey was also an advisor for the Gees Bend story and the Horace King documentary for the Division of Telecommunication and Educational Television at Auburn University and a consultant for the award-winning radio documentary, “Remembering Slavery,” produced by the Institute for Language and Culture at the University of Montevallo.
He serves as a member of several speakers‚ bureaus, such as the Alabama Humanities Foundation (AHF) Roads Scholars program, as a lecturer and tour guide. Bailey makes frequent appearances on radio and television to discuss Alabama history, southern history and contemporary issues.
The Alabama Humanities Foundation (AHF) is the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. The AHF brings scholars and the public together to explore human values and meaning through the study of history, literature, religion, philosophy, and other humanities disciplines.
The AHF offers programs such as seminars, workshops, lectures, exhibitions, documentary videos, and films.  Founded in 1974 as a vehicle for awarding grants to grassroots organizations in Alabama, the AHF now also conducts its own programming benefiting teachers, schoolchildren, families, and the general public.
For additional information on the Black History program at BSCC, call Sam Sullivan, Director of Student Services, at 800-648-3271, ext. 5103. The public is invited to attend.
