Dr. Wilma E. Mosley Clopton will be the featured literary artist and will discuss her latest book, JESSIE: One Woman, One Vision, at the Mary Church Terrell Literary Club, Inc. during its 14th annual literary luncheon at noon April 2, at the Hilton Jackson Hotel.
The club holds the distinction of being the oldest active club in the Mississippi State Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs, Inc., and Youth Affiliates. It is also an affiliate of the National Association of Colored Women’s Clubs, Inc., and Youth Affiliates, America’s oldest national black women’s organization that was founded in 1896.
The purpose of the club is to promote the intellectual, social and civic interests of members and the Jackson community. Proceeds from the luncheon will support scholarships to deserving high school graduates, public service programs and charitable donations to non-profit organizations.
Chairman Terryce Walker states, “Since its inception, the luncheon has featured outstanding local and national authors. Wilma has been a big part of its success, and the community’s response to our luncheon, in that she produced historical films for our Freedom Riders and Club’s Centennial Celebration. Wilma and her mother were both members of our club, and we are delighted to have her as this year’s speaker.”
Luncheon tickets are $40 and can be purchased from any club member. Seating begins at 11:30 a.m.
