New publication!
I’m happy to announce my latest entry for the Mississippi Encyclopedia: a profile of the remarkable Ser Seshsh Ab Heter-C. M. Boxley.
Many thanks to him and to Michael Morris for their invaluable assistance.
Here's an excerpt:
Ser Seshsh Ab Heter-C. M. Boxley (b. 1939)
Historian, cultural preservationist, and civil rights activist
Ser Seshsh Ab Heter-C. M. Boxley, widely known as Ser Boxley, has spent decades fighting for justice, human rights, and the equitable representation of African American history in Natchez. Since 1963, he has successfully advocated for institutional change, often by challenging one-sided historical narratives, particularly within Natchez tourism. His impact is reflected in the historical markers, interpretive programs, National Park Service recognition, and publications that document and interpret African American history in Natchez.
