Former Rhode Island Supreme Court Chief Justice Frank Williams will present “Ulysses S. Grant, Reconstruction, and Civil Rights” at the Old Capitol Museum.

In 2017, Williams and his wife, Virginia, donated their Lincolniana Collection—documents, books, artifacts, ephemera, philately, numismatics, paintings, and statuary related to the life of Abraham Lincoln—to the library.

A reception will begin at 5 p.m. and the lecture will start at 6 p.m. in the House Chamber of the Old Capitol. Free, for more information call 601-576-6998 or email info@mdah.ms.gov.

The program is organized in association with the Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library at Mississippi State University and co-sponsored by the Mississippi Humanities Council.
