Who’s Who among proud Mississippians
Writes correspondent Pam Firmin in The Sun Herald: A beautiful just-released coffee-table book, “Proud to Call Mississippi Home,” about famous Americans from Mississippi makes the local reader very proud and a little bit crazy at the same time. It’s a post-Katrina effort to show a viable Mississippi. The book is both contemporary and traditional and it uses glitz and glamour as glue. The book’s lyrical theme is that Mississippi is a state of mind and a good place to call home.
Pulitzer-prize winner William Raspberry, a native of Okolona, is referenced in the volume.
