    CollegianThis is how college is meant to be. Scholar, Teacher, Mentor: Trudier Harris Returns Home By Kelli Wright Coming home at the end of a long journey is a theme that DR. TRUDIER HARRIS has contemplated, taught, and writ- ten about many times in her award-winning books and in the classroom. Recently, Harris found herself in the midst of her own home- coming, the central character in a narrative that is a familiar part of southern life and literature. When she retired from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she was the J. Carlyle Sitterson Professor of English, she was not looking for other work. But her homecoming resulted in an unexpected “sec- ond career” as a professor in the College’s Department of English and a chance to explore new intellectual territories. In addition, it has meant a return to many of the places of her youth, this time in the role of change agent. Raised on an 80-acre cotton farm in Greene County, Ala., Harris was the sixth of nine children. Though her parents had to work hard to make ends meet, they always stressed the impor- tance of education. Harris attended Tuscaloosa’s 32nd Avenue Elementary School, now known as Martin Luther King Elementary School. In the late 1960s she entered Stillman College in Tuscaloosa. Initially she considered a career as a physical educa- tion teacher or a psychiatrist. But losing an intramural race to a young woman who was half as tall as she dampened her desire to teach PE, and the realization that she did not want to listen to people’s problems soured her plans in psychiatry.

But the recent changes to student ticket package distribution have some Alabama fans turning crimson, and not out of school spirit. Last week, students had the opportunity to opt-in for tick- et packages from Monday to Wednesday, and those who chose to received an email Friday detail- ing their eligibility for ticket packages. This season, full ticket packages were only offered to students meeting 60 or more UA credit hours. The implementation of that plan was met with some resent- ment from the student body. Many students took to online forums, like the Alabama Student Ticket Exchange, to express their dissat- isfaction with the new system.

  • The Burden of the University of Alabama's Hallowed Grounds
    The Burden of the University of Alabama’s Hallowed Grounds Hilary Green Downloaded from http://online.ucpress.edu/tph/article-pdf/42/4/28/416753/tph.2020.42.4.28.pdf by The University of Alabama user on 01 November 2020 “But Dr. Green, slavery did not exist on our campus.” This comment, raised by a male African American junior in my second semester at the University of Alabama (UA), launched my research into the campus history of slavery, the experiences of the enslaved, and their legacies. His comment revealed how this history and enduring legacy continue to shape all who encounter the space. Institutional forgetting and exploitation are imprinted onto the campus DNA. It still permits many to refuse to see the complete campus even when tailgating on UA’s Quad. Beginning with the Fall 2020 football season, tailgaters may no longer see the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) Boulder, a Lost Cause memorial erected in 1914; yet other sites of slavery and its aftermath will remain in their purview.1 Official campus tours reinforce the erasure of enslaved African American labor and experiences through the use of “servants” instead of “slaves,” while pointing out to future campus stakeholders buildings honoring enslavers, proslavery apologists, and segregationists without mentioning their namesakes’ past. The popular slogan, “Built by Bama,” has obscured for the UA community the enslaved men, women, and children who actually built the university. The few markers and vague language on existing markers and plaques hides rather than reveals the history hidden in plain sight. The University of Alabama has had plenty of opportunities to reconcile its slave past.
