I am trying to think of female writers from Mississippi in the 50s and 60s.

Mississippi Writers

Margaret Walker is another famous one though she can be claimed by Bama and Missippi. I read Jubilee in the early 80s when my “gifted” teacher recommended it. I think my aunt taught that one in her AP classes.

When I go home to Mississippi, I always tell my husband that the trees are full of stories. Lol I would say he thinks I am crazy except that he agrees. I probably spent too much time laying on the grass underneath the swaying tall pines listening to them “whisper.” :)
