Throwback Thursday! Let’s go back in time to the 1930s, when a young Tennessee Williams was just Tom—a young man escaping a shoe factory job, discovering his voice, and falling in love with theater and life in Memphis.

Young Williams visited Southwestern in 1935 looking for purpose in his life. Here, he found friends, inspiration. and a new passion for playwriting. Flash forward 90 years later, and Tennessee Williams is here with us again in the form of paintings (generously gifted by Kenneth Holditch). It’s like he never left. In this new episode of Lynx to the Past, Kahlila talks everything Tennessee with special guests Rosie Meindl and Echo O’Connor. For more information on Williams, visit the website below (created by Echo O’Connor for the exhibition “Tennessee Williams: Paintings of Love and Loss”): https://sites.rhodes.edu/tennessee-williams
