Centreville renames street in honor of civil rights activist and author, Anne Moody

Front-page coverage of historic celebration appears in Bluff City Post

#AnneMoody

We are thankful to Mr. William H. Terrell, editor and publisher of The Bluff City Post, and Mr. Albert Jones, for their coverage of the Anne Moody Day Celebration on Sept. 15, 2017, in Centreville, Miss. A story and photograph of the event appeared on the front page of the September 22 - October 13, 2017 issue of The Bluff City Post.

Mr. Terrell said after the event, “We were more than happy to be there and even more so to put her article on the front page of our newspaper.”

The Bluff City Post, based in Natchez, Miss., has been a strong voice for civil rights and social justice for many decades. Mr. Terrell often covers stories in the black community that you may not see in other papers. His publication of this recent celebration was the second piece on Anne Moody that he ran on the front page.

We sincerely appreciate Mr. Terrell and the exceptional job that he is doing with his newspaper. May he and his staff be blessed for many years to come. – Roscoe Barnes III, Chairman, Anne Moody History Project
