Today (2/8/20) I visited the burial site of Anne Moody. She is resting beside her mother in the Mt. Pleasant Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery, Centreville, MS. Moody is always on my mind. I was driving along Highway 24 when I looked over at the gravesite and saw flowers near her grave. I stopped and took this picture.
