THE LITTLE PROFESSOR OF PINEY WOODS

by Beth Day ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 24, 1955

A stirring story of a life well spent is given immediacy and impetus by a recall of incidents and inclusion of personal associations with Laurence Jones- Missouri born, Northern educated and a Negro- who came to Braxton, Mississippi, to help the forgotten people of the backwoods to a higher standard of living through a vocational school. Weathering local suspicion, even a lynch mob, Jones won through with the kind of grit that accounted for great work in brotherhood and education. Noteworthy.
