Anne Moody
Author of Coming of Age in Mississippi
(1940 - 2015)

Ms. Maggie Lowery of Visit Mississippi informed me via email on Monday, March 16, 2020, that the unveiling of the Anne Moody marker has been postponed due to COVID-19. Even though the original date of March 31 is now out of the question, Moody will still be honored, but at a later date, according to Lowery. “I can assure you that the marker will go in the ground,” she said.

I will provide an update when more information is available. In the meantime, we should all keep the faith and do our part in following the recommendations of our medical professionals by consistently washing our hands and observing social distancing in our daily activities.

I’m sure we will eventually get through this coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic, and we will have a great program in Centreville, Miss., that will recognize Moody for her contributions as a writer and civil rights activist.
