The Natchez Civil Rights Trail Committee joined the community in celebrating the unveiling of the Mississippi Freedom Trail Marker in Natchez on Monday, April 17, at the Dr. John Banks House, which served as the headquarters for the Natchez NAACP in the 1960s.
It was this committee that led the efforts to have Natchez approved by the Mississippi Humanities Council and Visit Mississippi to be listed on the Mississippi Freedom Trail and the U.S Civil Rights Trail.
Committee members pictured from left are Roscoe Barnes III, Kathleen Bonds, Carter Burns, Mayor Dan Gibson, Mimi Miller, Robert Pernell. In the back row from left are Devin Heath and Lance Harris. Not pictured: the Rev. Clifton Marvel Sr. About 80 people attended the ceremony.
