Semi-protected edit request on 28 March 2015[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Editors,

The following sentence is based on a mistaken memory:

"Late in the 1980s Lee spent some time in Alexander City, Alabama, researching a true-crime book called The Reverend.[23]"

Please change "Late in the 1980s" to "In 1978."

The article which this sentence cites came from a 2010 interview with Alexander City attorney Tom Radney. Mr. Radney granted the interview over thirty years after Harper Lee's visit, and he had forgotten some details. (I discussed this with his widow and confirmed that the Radney family was uncertain about the date.) Fortunately, Miss Lee wrote a thank you note to some of her hosts at the time of her visit, so we are now able to pinpoint the year she lived in Alex City.

Thank you!

Harper Lee's grandson[edit]

Since I can't edit this page because it is semi-locked I will leave this source here. This article from the LA Times says that Lee's grandson is named after her (7th paragraph, 2nd sentence).--Somenolife (talk) 21:17, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

the Pecks’ 5-year-old grandson, Harper Peck Voll, was named after Lee. 70.51.83.211 (talk) 02:57, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
