the Fine Arts & T.S. Stribling Celebration
The University of North Alabama Campus will celebrate the life of Pulitzer
Prize winning alumni T. S. Stribling at this fine arts festival. The Stribling
subcommittee of Florence's Heritage Preservation, Inc. strives to acquaint
the public with the work of T.S. Stribling, a 1933 Pulitzer Prize winner who
was educated in Alabama, lived and worked for a time in Florence, and used
Florence as the location for the trilogy that included his Pulitzer-winning
novel. This year, HPI has organized a program that combines a celebration of
the work of T.S. Stribling (on the 100th anniversary of his graduation from
the State Normal School in Florence, Alabama) and a showcase for a number of
