Our community is full of people who do good work. These are just some of us.
The Seeds of Change Resource Foundation did a great job of sponsoring a special presentation Saturday at the Natchez City Auditorium honoring Black women in history who have changed the world for the better.
In addition to nationally known heroes like Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks, this presentation will feature the likes of Police Chief Caroline Greene, Judge Mary Lee Toles, Judge Lily Blackmon Sanders, Sadie V. They told us about many notable women from or connected to Natchez. Thompson, Susie Ethel B. West, Leto Grace Dumas, and many others.
Congratulations everyone.

Also great job was Joseph Smith of BlackNatchez.org who organized Saturday’s Black History Parade and Celebration. From the sidelines of the parade, it was clear that everyone was having a great time.
