BUIES CREEK, N.C. (AP) — The friend who delivered the eulogy at the memorial service for author Harper Lee and who is writing a book about her is speaking this week at Campbell University.
Wayne Flynt delivers a lecture Monday evening in Butler Chapel about Lee and what others can learn from small Southern towns about theology, history, literature and race.
Flynt will have a "public conversation" Tuesday evening with J. Bradley Creed, the new president of Campbell University.
Flynt is professor emeritus of history at Auburn University. He says he's writing a book about Lee, the Pulitzer-Prize winning author who wrote the American classic "To Kill A Mockingbird." He says the book should be finished by the end of the year.
Lee died in February at the age of 89.
