#VisitNatchez
Roscoe Barnes III, the cultural heritage tourism
manager for Visit Natchez, is one of several winners of the 2023 Public
Humanities Awards presented by the Miss. Humanities Council. MHC selected
Barnes for its 2023 Humanities Partner Award. The Council said, "Dr.
Barnes has been a vital partner of the MHC, making connections with African
American museums and community organizations in Natchez. At least six different
MHC grants can be linked to Barnes’ partnership. He has encouraged the Dr. John
Banks House, the Rhythm Night Club Memorial Museum and the Natchez Museum of
African American History and Culture to apply for MHC grants. Once those grants
were awarded, he wrote press releases that have been widely carried in the
media, always highlighting the impact of the MHC. Like the MHC, Roscoe is a
behind-the-scenes connector whose partnership has greatly expanded the
Council’s work in Southwest Mississippi.”
