The Anne Moody History Project (AMHP) is a community service endeavor created by the staff of Wilkinson County Correctional Facility (WCCF), Woodville, Miss. Its aim is to promote and help preserve the legacy of civil rights pioneer Anne Moody, who was born and raised in Wilkinson County. Moody's hometown is Centreville, Miss.. She spent a short time in Woodville before going off to college in Natchez. Moody wrote Coming of Age in Mississippi, which was first published in 1968. #AnneMoody
