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 2008 in New Orleans, Louisiana for a book published in 2006-2007. Entries should be submitted to the committee members listed below before March 1, 2008.
