100 years ago: Alabama native Nelle Harper Lee, author of the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, was born on April 28, 1926, in Monroeville (Monroe County). The book is one of the most widely read books of American literature and has been translated into more than 40 languages. In 2002, Lee received the Alabama Humanities Award from the Alabama Humanities Foundation. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2007 for her contribution to literature; she was also inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters, which is considered the nation's highest formal recognition of artistic merit, that year. Lee was presented the 2010 National Medal of Arts for her "outstanding contribution to the excellence, growth, support and availability of the arts." Lee died in her hometown, Monroeville, on February 19, 2016. She was inducted into the Alabama Women's Hall of Fame in 2019. Image shows Lee sitting on a porch swing with Alabama actor Mary Badham, who played the character of Scout from the novel, in the 1961 motion-picture adaption of the book.
