Dr. Hattingh Delivers Community Talks
Alistair Hattingh - McIntire Library

Muskingum University Associate Professor of History Alistair Hattingh recently delivered two invited talks on African culture for the commUNITYread program of the Muskingum County Library System.

The talks were in support of this year’s commUNITYread book, A Princess Found, by Sarah Culberson, which tells her story of growing up as an adopted child in West Virginia, and of her journey to meet her birth father in Sierra Leone.

Sarah Culbertson will deliver the keynote address at The J.W. and M.H. Straker Foundation’s second annual Mary Helen Straker Writing Award Ceremony, at Secrest Auditorium in Zanesville on March 23, 2023. 

Pictured with Dr. Hattingh are Beth Fox of the Muskingum County Community Foundation and Pamela Kuntz and Pamela Kirst of the J.W. and M.H. Straker Foundation.

Dr. Hattingh’s talks took place on February 16, 2023, at the John McIntire Library in Zanesville and later that day at the New Concord Public Library.
