Woodville Proclamation for Joan Trumpauer Mulholland

This Proclamation was presented to Joan Trumpauer Mulholland by the Town of Woodville, Miss.

On Tuesday, September 17, 2019, Mayor Keshia Stewart Ford presented Joan Trumpauer Mulholland the "Key to the City" on behalf of the Town of Woodville. The presentation was made at Wilkinson County Correctional Facility (WCCF), a prison that is privately run by MTC of Utah. Mulholland, a former Freedom Rider and civil rights pioneer, spoke at the prison and at Wilkinson County High School during her visit, which was sponsored by MTC/WCCF. She participated in three programs, all held in honor of Anne Moody, whose birthday was September 15. Moody, who was a friend of Mulholland, was also a civil rights pioneer. She wrote the classic memoir, Coming of Age in Mississippi.
