Birmingham Hosts Kamala Harris for Book Tour Following High Demand
Former Vice President Kamala Harris is set to make a second appearance in Birmingham, Alabama, on October 17 as part of her book tour, following overwhelming demand. The event will take place at the Alabama Theatre, a prominent venue in downtown Birmingham. Originally, only one event was scheduled, but due to the rapid sell-out of tickets for the first show, a second appearance was added.
The Birmingham schedule now includes two separate events: one at 5 p.m. and another at 8 p.m., the latter of which has been rescheduled from its original time of 7 p.m. Each ticket purchased will also include a copy of Harris’ new memoir, titled “107 Days.”
The book, published by Simon & Schuster, details Harris’ experiences during her brief presidential campaign, particularly focusing on the time surrounding Donald Trump’s presidency and Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race in late July. Harris aims to provide a candid perspective on what is described as “the shortest presidential campaign in modern history” and intends to share insights garnered along the way.
Birmingham is one of 15 cities that Harris plans to visit during her book tour. She will discuss behind-the-scenes moments of her campaign, reflect on the lessons learned, and engage in conversations about how to move forward as a nation. The event is organized by Code-R Productions and Books-A-Million, with the objective of prompting thoughtful discussions regarding the future of American politics.
In addition to the standard ticket options, attendees will have the opportunity to purchase a VIP Meet & Greet Add-On Package. This package includes several exclusive features such as a pre-show photo opportunity with Harris, a pre-signed copy of “107 Days,” collectible event laminates and lanyards, VIP entrance access, and assistance from the onsite concierge and event staff.
The event seeks to encourage attendees to foster discussions around building a collective vision for the nation, making it a significant occasion for both supporters and critics alike. Attendees can expect doors to open at 6 p.m. on event day.
Aside from Birmingham, Harris will also be stopping in major cities including New York, Durham (North Carolina), Portland (Oregon), Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Houston, San Francisco, Atlanta, Washington, Chicago, Nashville, and Miami as part of her extensive tour.
The official release date of the memoir “107 Days” is set for September 23. The event has drawn attention and sparked commentary, particularly in areas viewed as Republican strongholds, as local political figures weigh in on Harris’ visit.
