Authors Ellen Ann Fentress and Ellen Gabardi as they join Ellen Morris Prewitt for a celebration of the launch of Prewitt’s new book.

Below is a political opinion column by Sid Salter:
The governor’s call has encouraged his fellow Republicans and angered Democrats.
Mississippi’s Republican Gov. Tate Reeves made a politically shrewd decision to issue a special session call to authorize lawmakers to draw new state Supreme Court district lines 21 days after the U.S. Supreme Court rules in a controversial Louisiana congressional redistricting case that many high court observers believe will weaken the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA).

America is not lost. She is still right there, in the stands, wearing a jersey with her favorite Pirates’ name on the back. She is still right there in an outfielder from Mississippi who never forgot how to care for the people right in front of him.
