Author Patricia Neely-Dorsey Campaigns for Mississippi's State Poem

In January we reported that Patricia Neely-Dorsey received an Official Resolution from the State of Mississippi, naming her the state's Goodwill Ambassador, which was also adopted by the House of Representatives. Now, we are delighted to announce that Patricia's poem Meet My Mississippi is being considered as the official state poem. We are so excited that one of our very own members has a poem that can quite possibly be adopted as Mississippi's official state poem.

Currently, Patricia is in the process of getting signatures that will support her campaign to show Mississippi Legislators a list of people who are rallying behind her petition. Below, we've shared her poem that is up for consideration. Enjoy!
