Join the Stowe Center for Literary Activism for an illuminating Stowe Prize Series event exploring the newly discovered Phillips Manuscript alongside Percival Everett’s award-winning novel James.
Featuring:
• Godfrey L. Simmons Jr., Artistic Director, HartBeat Ensemble — dramatic reading of the Phillips Manuscript
• Cat White, Director of Historic Collections, Stowe Center — historical context and insights
• Dr. Camesha Scruggs, Central Connecticut State University — conversation facilitator
The Phillips Manuscript documents the extraordinary life of Dr. William H. Phillips, born enslaved in Virginia in 1841 and later a nationally respected minister in Philadelphia. His story sheds light on resilience, intellect, and freedom in 19th-century America—resonating deeply with the themes in James, which reframes Adventures of Huckleberry Finn through the eyes of Jim.
Together, these works invite us to reflect on a vital question:
What role do storytelling and narrative play in shaping our understanding of history and culture today?
