Great Meeting with Mimi Miller of the Historic Natchez Foundation

 #VisitNatchez

Mimi Miller, executive director emerita of the Historic Natchez Foundation (far right), is a wealth of knowledge and a valuable resource on the history of Natchez. On Thursday, Sept. 2, 2021, I had the honor of meeting with her to review historic photos about the Dr. John Bowman Banks Museum and the Civil Rights Movement in Natchez. Also pictured, from left: Dora Hawkins and Jacqulyn Williams, representatives of the John Banks House. Miller is to my left. In addition to being one of the most helpful and reliable historians around, she is a great storyteller. She also has a great sense of humor. I truly appreciate all of her help, as well as the help we receive from Carter Burns, the executive director of the Foundation.
