GWEN/LINDA, Contact Donna Dye (say hello for me) or Cavett Taff at the
State Historical Museum, Department of Archives & History, Jackson MS
39201 (I don't think they're on-line). They have a wonderfully accurate and
thoughtful exhibition on the subject. I believe that Alfredtine Harrison,
Prof at Jackson State University, was a principal consultant, I'm recalling
that others were involved in this mid-80s installation; Patti Carr Black,
now retired, was the impetus for rectifying this huge oversight in
interpreting MS history. Good Luck, JIM
