WJTV 12 News: Anne Moody Memorial Highway

Dedication on February 20

NOTE: I have been pleased to see -- and hear about -- the many TV news reports about the Anne Moody Memorial Highway, a proud achievement of the Anne Moody History Project (AMHP). I first heard about the TV news reports on Sunday night, February 10, when a friend emailed me to say he’d seen the news reports on Channel 3 and 4 in Mississippi. Another person told me that her family saw the news in Houston, Texas. My friends and colleagues at Wilkinson County Correctional Facility (WCCF), Woodville, Miss., said they saw it several times on television. And yet another friend sent me an email and reported the news appeared on radio and TV in his area. The report featured in this blog post appeared on WJTV Channel 12 News. It can be seen here or by following this link: https://www.wjtv.com/news/local-news/anne-moody-memorial-highway/1772800287 -- Roscoe Barnes III, Ph.D., Chairman, Anne Moody History Project

CENTREVILLE, Miss. (WJTV) -   Part of a Mississippi Highway will be named for a late civil rights activist. Lawmakers voted last year to name part of Highway 24 as the "Anne Moody Memorial Highway." There will be a dedication ceremony on February 20 in Centreville. That's where Moody grew up. The part of the highway, that will be renamed after her, runs from Woodville to Centreville.
