WLRH News: Kathryn Remembered for Best Documentary

Kathryn Tucker Windham was one of the South’s first female reporters and a civic leader during violent times of segregation in Selma, Alabama. She was an award-winning photographer and journalist, and the author of more than 30 books, including a beloved series of Southern ghost stories that has haunted generations of children all over the world. In her later years, she became known as a master storyteller and humanitarian. For more than 20 years, her commentaries have aired on WLRH as part of the station’s Sundial Writer’s Corner. Mrs. Windham passed away in the summer of 2011. WLRH listeners gathered at the Huntsville Public Library to share their memories and to preserve their own oral histories as part of WLRH’s Save-A-Story project. The documentary included in this award entry was produced using some of those memories, including a never before told story of how Mrs. Windham helped integrate Selma’s Chamber of Commerce. The documentary drew an extremely positive response from listeners and fans all over the world. Posted Saturday, December 31, 2011
