Author Discusses Upbringing in Segregated Mississippi During Lecture at Carey
Charlene Bevelyn Exposé, author of "On the Land of My Father: A Farm Upbringing in Segregated Mississippi," presented the latest installment of the University Lecture Series at the William Carey University Hattiesburg campus on Feb. 4.
During the lecture, Exposé detailed her early life and upbringing on a cotton farm in the Improve community of south Mississippi in the 1940s and 1950s. The lecture was part of the university's commemoration of African-American History Month.
Exposé's book, which is available online and at brick-and-mortar booksellers, was published in 2014 by McFarland & Company.
