VIDEO: Mississippi Freedom Trail marker unveiled for Natchez Deacons for Defense and Justice


(Click on image to enlarge.)

On Saturday, November 9, 2024, we held a ceremony for the unveiling of a Mississippi Freedom Trail marker for the Natchez Deacons for Defense and Justice in Natchez, Mississippi. It was a great program and wonderful tribute to the men who made a difference in the Civil Rights Movement in Natchez in the 1960s.

Dr. Akinyele Umoja, author of “We Will Shot Back,” was our guest speaker. We were joined by the Natchez NAACP and the Mississippi NAACP. We’re grateful to Mississippi Humanities Council and Visit Mississippi for making this program possible.
