Description

We're on the road! In this episode of Coffee and History: A Conversation with Alabama Heritage, hosts Rebecca Minder and Caroline McKenzie sit down with Hayden McDaniel and Richard Trammell Jr., two education curators from the Alabama Department of Archives and History.

From engaging thousands of K–12 students with theatrical storytelling to empowering teachers through hands-on professional development, Hayden and Richard share how they make Alabama's rich and complex history accessible and inspiring. Discover hidden archival treasures, the surprising origins of the Black Panther Party in Alabama, and how land ownership shaped civil rights activism.

Plus, enjoy fun personal stories—including Richard's journey from chemistry to theater, and Hayden's love for peanuts and her splooting hedgehogs, Tahini and Biscuit.

Coffee & History: A Conversation with Alabama Heritage is brought to you in partnership with the Poarch Creek Indians.
