Celebrate the release of Jim Abbott's new memoir, Paper Man: Chasing the Truth in the Mississippi Delta. Abbott, a Greenwood native and former longtime editor of a Delta newspaper, joins Tim Kalich for a conversation about his journey from all-white Greenwood High School in 1962 to Ole Miss during the James Meredith riots, and his decades-long career chronicling life in the Mississippi Delta.

Books will be available for purchase and signing.

Pro Tip: Make it a Delta weekend. Tallahatchie Flats is just minutes from downtown Greenwood—book your stay and explore the history and culture of the Delta.
