The Bennett H. Wall Award
The Bennett H. Wall
Award was established in 2000 to honor the long-term
service of Professor Wall, who served as Secretary-Treasurer
of the SHA for over thirty-three years (1952-1985), and as SHA
President in 1988. In keeping with Professor Wall's own scholarly
contribution to southern history, the Wall Prize will be awarded
to the best book published in southern business or economic
history over a two-year period. The next award will be made
at the annual meeting in 2010 in Charlotte, NC for
a book published in 2008-2009. Entries should be submitted to
the committee members listed below before March 1, 2010.
