FREE 

Feed your body and mind at lunchtime every Tuesday. Join us for a 20-30 minute talk, then stay for lunch at Oscar's! ArtBreak guests get treated to a free dessert!

This week Bob Stewart, former executive director of the Alabama Humanities Foundation, will discuss "Red Sea" to the Red Mountain: A Family History from Louisiana Slaveholding to Magic City Tolerance.

His presentation focuses on the intriguing family history of his wife, Lida Davenport Beaumont Stewart, and particularly her great-grandmother, Eliza (Lida) Davenport's family in Louisiana from 1806 through the Civil War. Eliza and her Confederate veteran husband, Robert, moved to Birmingham in the 1880s. They helped begin the Cathedral Church of the Advent. The story has an ironic connection to the Sixteenth St. Baptist Church bombing. The story of her family examines the themes of storytelling, history, and change in Birmingham.
