The Bluff City Post of Natchez, Miss., opened the New Year with a story about civil rights
pioneer Anne Moody, who wrote Coming of
Age in Mississippi. The story, which appears on page two of the paper,
focuses on a presentation by Mississippi State Senator Tammy Witherspoon,
D-McComb.
In early December 2017,
Witherspoon presented a proclamation honoring Moody to Wilkinson County
Correctional Facility (WCCF), Woodville, Miss. She came to the prison because of
its role in sharing Moody’s story through the Anne Moody History Project
(AMHP). AMHP is a community service project that was started in March 2017 by
WCCF staff.
We appreciate the time and
space that Bluff City Post has given to Moody’s story and the work being done
by WCCF staff. Every publication helps. And every news announcement is an
important step in keeping Moody’s legacy alive.

2018

stories about Moody that the newspaper has featured over the past year.
