ABOUT THE CELEBRATION
The Natchez Literary and Cinema Celebration, winner of an Olympic Award, the Governor's Award, and the Mississippi Tourism Award, has been called by official evaluators "Mississippi's most significant annual conference devoted to literature, history, and culture."
Sponsored by Copiah-Lincoln Community College, Natchez National Historical Park, Mississippi Department of Archives and History, and Mississippi Public Broadcasting , the Celebration annually presents a theme-based lecture series enhanced by films, field trips, workshops, exhibits, book signings, and discussions.
Each year since the NLCC began in 1990, the conference has been made possible in part by the Mississippi Humanities Council under a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The conference is also made possible in part by a $100,000 National Endowment for the Humanities Challenge Grant that was successfully matched dollar-for-dollar during a three-year campaign that ended in 2006.
