Wings of Opportunity: The Wright Brothers' Time in Alabama

We are thrilled to have guest speaker Julie Hedgepeth Williams back again this summer. For the past two summers, Julie entertained us with stories about the Titanic disaster -- a disaster that her own great-uncle and his family survived. This summer, Julie will talk about the time the Wright Brothers spent in Alabama in 1910, looking for a location to start the nation's first civilian flying school. She will describe a time when flight was untested, unsteady, and unavailable to most people.
