Humanities Teacher Award winner Ginny Leonard (East Mississippi Community College) will present her public lecture, “Literature in Relief: Healing in the Human Spirit.” Reception to follow.
The strength of the written word does not rely on simple fact-giving or storytelling. Instead, the true power of literature rests in its ability to soothe and heal the mind, body, and soul of humankind. This presentation will explore the many ways literature of all sorts relieves the pressures of the human condition.
