It's official! 

Mayor Keshia Stewart Ford will present the "Key to the City" to civil rights pioneer Joan Trumpauer Mulholland on Tuesday, Sept. 17 at Wilkinson County Correctional Facility (WCCF) in Woodville, Miss. The mayor and the Woodville Board of Aldermen approved our request for the honor at their regular meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2019. I attended the meeting with members of the Anne Moody History Project (AMHP), which included LaVern Taylor, Ruby Dixon, and Michelle Childres. We're all excited about this event. As one friend said, "This will be EPIC!" Thank you, Mayor Ford!
