Anne Moody’s Coming of Age in Mississippi: Why It Matters

A Lecture and PowerPoint Presentation

By Roscoe Barnes III


The Lecture

This is a presentation on the important contributions of Moody's book, Coming of Age in Mississippi (1968). It was presented at the Tuesday, Feb. 27, 2024, meeting of the Natchez Historical Society at the Historic Natchez Foundation in Natchez, Miss. It attempts to show, among other things, that while civil rights pioneer Anne Moody has not received the recognition she deserves, her memoir remains a significant contribution to Mississippi history, and it has critical implications for race relations, voting rights, human rights and equality in today's society.
