(Click on image to enlarge.)

Just stumbled across this wonderful photo of Anne Moody with the Natchez College basketball team. She is kneeling at far left, hand on the basketball. Moody, author of the classic civil rights memoir Coming of Age in Mississippi, attended Natchez College (also known as Natchez Junior College) on a basketball scholarship in the late 1950s–early 1960s. Photo appears on page 179 in Natchez Images 1880-1960 from the Natchez Printing Collection, published by the Natchez Historical Society.
