Behind the Story: Mayor Woodfin and Edward T. Bowser on Son of Birmingham

Join See Jane Write founder Javacia Harris Bowser at the Birmingham Public Library Central Branch for an engaging conversation with Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin and co-writer Edward T. Bowser about Woodfin's powerful debut memoir, Son of Birmingham. This event delves into the story behind the story, exploring the writing process, the influence of hip-hop and pop culture, and the book’s examination of critical themes such as Birmingham’s identity, the plague of gun violence, and the ways the South is still teaching our world how to fight for freedom. Don’t miss this chance to uncover the heart of a story that’s as much about a city as it is about its son.

The evening will start with a book signing at 5 p.m. Books will be available for sale by Thank You Books. The conversation will begin promptly at 6 p.m.
