Thanks to Andy Lewis, editor and publisher of The Woodville Republican, the news about the Anne Moody Memorial Highway received front-page coverage. Mr. Lewis ran the story above the fold. We appreciate the coverage.

The Woodville Republican is a weekly and is based in Woodville, the town where Anne Moody graduated from Johnson High School in 1959. It's also the place where her father, Fred Moody Sr., lived. She was living with him when she completed high school.

Mr. Lewis has published a number of stories about Moody, who was a civil rights pioneer and the author of Coming of Age in Mississippi.
