The history of Lincoln County’s “Little Italy” will be explored Thursday during a special post-Black History Month program hosted by the Lincoln County Historical and Genealogical Society. The program will begin at 6:30 p.m. at Hurst Review Services conference room, 127 S. Railroad Ave.

Pat Williams Tillman, of Williams Mortuary, is the featured speaker. “I will be speaking about the community as it existed in the 1940s and ‘50s and how the black community existed during a segregated Mississippi,” Tillman said.
