      Teachers are invited to spend three days in historic Monroeville, Alabama, to study To Kill a Mockingbird, the novel and the movie. In addition to enjoying the atmosphere and sites of the town on which Maycomb, Alabama, is based, participants will attend sessions lead by scholars (literature, history and film) and a documentary filmmaker to discuss the origins and legacy of the masterpiece.
