Meeting with Dr. Karen L. Cox

#VisitNatchez

Today (Oct. 11, 2021) I had the honor of meeting with Dr. Karen L. Cox, professor of history at UNC Charlotte. We had a nice lunch at Lil Italia and talked about the history of Natchez. We had a great time.

Cox is the author of many books, including “Dixie’s Daughters: The United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Preservation of Confederate Culture,” “Dreaming of Dixie: How the South Was Created in American Popular Culture,” “Goat Castle: A True Story of Murder, Race, and the Gothic South,” and “No Common Ground: Confederate Monuments and the Ongoing Fight for Racial Justice.” Cox is also writing a book about the Rhythm Club Fire.
