This project celebrates the life and work of Mississippi author and preacher Will D. Campbell in a celebration of his 100th birthday.
In Brother to a Dragonfly, Campbell writes about his life growing up poor in Amite County, Mississippi, during the 1930s alongside his older brother. The book serves as a historical account of Campbell’s life with his brother, his tenure as a Baptist preacher, and his involvement in the later stages of the Civil Rights movement.
The book discussion is scheduled for Oct. 22 at 6 p.m. in Cook Library, room 209A.
