Dr. Eric Walther to Deliver Fifth Annual Hinson Lecture
On March 11, 2010, Dr. Eric H. Walther, professor of history at the University of Houston, will deliver a lecture entitled “William Lowndes Yancey, the Conventions of 1860, and the Coming of the Civil War‚” as this year’s installment of the University of Mobile’s Billy G. Hinson Lecture Series. The lecture will be held in Moorer Auditorium on the University of Mobile campus in Mobile, Alabama. The event, which includes the lecture, a reception, and a book signing, is free and open to the public. Walther’s presentation will examine the role of the secessionist William L. Yancey in Alabama politics just prior to the presidential election of 1860 and the subsequent secession movement. The Alabama Humanities Foundation, a state program of the National Endowment for the Humanities, is a cosponsor of the event.
