This is my article about sculptor Bob Willis and the work
he’s doing in telling the history of Natchez, Miss., through his clay. His work
is simply amazing! Over the last few years, he has sculpted busts of important
leaders in Natchez’s history. These leaders include Hiram Revels, the first
African American to serve in the U.S. Congress, and John Roy Lynch, a former
slave who became a military officer, lawyer, and member of the U.S. House of
Representatives.
