A year ago this month, members of the Anne Moody History Project had the pleasure of meeting civil rights author Mike O'Brien & filmmaker Taryn Blake in Anne Moody's hometown of Centreville in southwest Mississippi. It was truly an honor. On September 15, 2017, the town of Centreville issued a proclamation for Anne Moody Day. The town also honored the civil rights pioneer by renaming Fort Street, "Anne Moody Street." O'Brien and Blake toured Centreville in December 2017 following their visit at the Civil Rights Museum in Jackson, Miss.

The story about their visit is available here. To learn more about Anne Moody, see her research page here.
