The Daphne Public Library will present the 7th Annual History Series this spring. The series, Immigrant Communities on the Gulf Coast: Then to Now, will include four speaking events on Tuesdays at 10:00 am on March 21, March 28, April 4 and April 11. Each session will last about one hour followed by a question and answer period. All four events will be held at the Daphne Civic Center.
Dr. James M. Morris, author and Professor Emeritus at Christopher Newport University, will speak on March 21 about the local Italian immigrants, including many of the founding citizens in Daphne, Alabama. Dr. Morris will discuss the immigrant families, the areas of Italy where each family originated, how they came to America and how they wound up living on Mobile Bay.
