The Georgia Writers Hall of Fame is inducting four authors Monday. Pulitzer Prize winner Taylor Branch, environmentalist Janisse Ray, columnist and journalist Paul Hemphill and novelist Vereen Bell will be honored at a ceremony at the University of Georgia.
Branch and Ray will both be at the event. Hemphill died in 2009. Bell was killed in combat in World War II.
“The Hall of Fame was begun to shine a light on Georgia’s literary heritage,” said Leandra Nessel with the University of Georgia Libraries. “We do have a lot of collections relating to the authors who are in the Hall of Fame.
Among the authors already honored in the Georgia Writers Hall of Fame are Alice Walker, Flannery O’Connor and Margaret Mitchell.
