Black History Month program at Alcorn State University


I'm here with Marsha Belton, MLIS, Technical Service Director at the J.D. Boyd Library at Alcorn State University. (Click on image to enlarge.)

On Wednesday (2/11/2026), I had the pleasure of speaking at a Black History Month program at Alcorn State University. My topic was "Prospect Hill Plantation and Alcorn State University: Where History Shaped Higher Education." The man on the screen is Isaac Ross, the original owner of Prospect Hill Plantation.
