The Christian County Literacy Council has selected "learning" as the theme for this year's contest.

The re-opened institute will house first-edition and translated versions of her written works, as well as her personal art collection and original paintings.

Anyone interested in learning more about the Hopkinsville native, who was born Gloria Jean Watkins, is invited to a discussion of 'Bone Black' on Sept. 25.

For the first gathering on June 17, the group will discuss “Communion: The Female Search for Love.”

It's the third year the literacy council has sponsored a writing contest in memory of bell hooks.

Murals have made their mark on Hopkinsville in recent years, beautifying areas around the city while chronicling its history.

The public is invited to the ceremony Sunday, March 24, at The Performing Arts Center.

More than 100 community members and officials gathered Friday at the Pennyroyal Area Museum to pay tribute to Hopkinsville's pioneering Black author and feminist, bell hooks.

Following the street dedication on March 1, the Pennyroyal Area Museum will open a newly created bell hooks Community Room.

The show takes viewers into the author's childhood in Hopkinsville.

The documentary will be broadcast on Kentucky Education Television on Feb. 27 and Feb. 29 following preview screenings in Louisville and Lexington.

The theme of this year's contest is memories.
