Published 3:00 am Friday, June 3, 2016
If you enjoy history, you’ll want to take advantage of the opportunity to hear historian and videographer Jim Phillips talk about Antebellum Alabama at the Tupper Lightfoot Memorial Library in Brundidge on Saturday.
The program will be at 5 p.m. It’s free and open to all ages that enjoy and appreciate the history of Alabama.
Theresa Trawick, library director, said Phillips has been a professional videographer since 1983. He holds a master’s degree in educational media. He has combined what he learned in the corporate world with his passion for history. He has filmed county histories as well as histories of Southern Aviation and Old Tannehill Furnace.
“Jim Phillips’ program at the Tupper Lightfoot Memorial Library will focus on Antebellum Alabama,” Trawick said. “He will bring artifacts that date before the Civil War. Jim Phillips is from Birmingham. He is the brother of Dough Phillips of Alabama Public Television’s ‘Discovering Alabama.’ He’s not the Antiques Road Show but he will look at a few coins, bottles and tokens if you bring them.”
Trawick said Antebellum Alabama will be an interesting and informative program.
“We are fortunate to have Jim Phillips share his love of history and his fascinating stories with us,” she said. “We invite all of those who love history and Alabama to join us for this special presentation.”
