ABOUT THE CELEBRATION… The Natchez Literary

the Mississippi Tourism Award, has been called by official evaluators
“Mississippi’s most significant annual conference devoted to literature,
history, and culture.” Sponsored by
Copiah-Lincoln Community College, Natchez National Historical Park, Mississippi
Department of Archives and History, and
Mississippi Public Broadcasting, the Celebration
annually presents a theme-based lecture series enhanced by films, field trips,
workshops, exhibits, book signings, and discussions.
Each year since the NLCC began in 1990, the conference has been made possible in part by the Mississippi Humanities Council under a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The conference is also made possible in part by a $100,000 National Endowment for the Humanities Challenge Grant that was successfully matched dollar-for-dollar during a three-year campaign that ended in 2006.
