Greenwood Cemetery



Оn may 14, 2009 Mississippi "Clarion Ledger" published an article by Sherry Lucas. Lucas spoke of the damage done to Greenwood Cemetery by the wind and the help needed to clean the area and restore some of the broken monuments. Lucas quoted Malcolm White,director of the Mississippi arts Comission, who said: “This historical, sacred place is not only the final resting place to many civic and cultural leaders of Jackson and Mississippi, but is the landscape and landmark of Eudora Welty’s final chapter”.


Which reminded me of the beautiful collection of photographs which appeared in 2000 - Country Churchyards. So when I had the chance I checked on Eudora's angel, (this is how my friends from Jackson called angel "Ellen Moore"). The angel was still on the ground, but the broken finger was already repaired.
