Presenter and Affiliation: Abram Book, PhD,
Date and Time: Friday, November 6, 6-7 pm EST
Description: In the early twentieth century, Uncle Bud Robinson was a nationally known evangelist whose distinctive Appalachian speech, humor, and storytelling captivated audiences across America. Today, he is largely forgotten. In this webinar, Abram J. Book, author of “Uncle Bud” Robinson: Enduring Lessons from an Early Twentieth-Century Simple Folk Preacher, explores Robinson’s remarkable life and considers what his career reveals about authenticity, effective communication, cultural identity, and the fragility of fame. Drawing on American religious history and communication studies, this presentation offers fresh perspectives on a fascinating and overlooked figure.
