Woodville newspaper publishes two stories leading up to Anne Moody Day Celebration

Clippings of the coverage

#AnneMoody

Note: The Woodville Republican (Woodville, Miss.) published two stories about Anne Moody leading up to the Anne Moody Celebration that was held on her birthday, Sept. 15, 2017. The event, the first of its kind, was held at 12 p.m. in her hometown of Centreville, Miss.

The first piece, “Ann Moody Day Celebration set in Centreville on Friday, Sept. 15,” ran in the paper on Thursday, Aug. 31, 2017. It extends an invitation to the public to come and participate in the ceremony. The second story, "Centreville to name street in honor of Anne Moody,” appeared on Thursday, Sept. 14, 2017. I was happy to see both stories on the front page.

We are grateful to Editor and Publisher Andy Lewis for his coverage of this historic event. It is always good when a hometown paper provides coverage of important people and events in the local area. – Roscoe Barnes III, Chairman, Anne Moody History Project
