We exist to join together those who hunger for knowledge and create a sense of belonging among those who desire to learn. We are more than an organization — we are an alliance of thinkers. We are the Alabama Humanities Alliance.

On February 28, 2022, we celebrated our two newest Alabama Humanities Fellows: Bryan Stevenson (pictured, with NPR's Michel Martin) and the late John Lewis. The sold-out event took place in Montgomery and featured a conversation with Mr. Stevenson, a tribute to Representative Lewis, and an original poem for the occasion by Alabama's new poet laureate, Ashley M. Jones.
The Alabama Humanities Alliance bestows its highest honor to Alabamians who have made our state and nation a smarter, kinder, and more vibrant place to live. All through the humanities. Since 1989, we’ve honored writers and historians, community leaders and big thinkers, civil rights icons and storytelling legends. Alabamians who challenge us to examine what it means to be human. And who help us see our state’s diverse communities, rich cultures, and fellow neighbors more clearly — and with more empathy.
