Smyrna native Ellen Meacham will be the 2020 featured author for the Friends of Linebaugh Library Annual Author Luncheon at The Woman's Club on East College Street. Meacham will speak about her book Delta Epiphany: Robert F. Kennedy in Mississippi. Meacham "tells the story of Kennedy's visit to the Mississippi Delta, examining the forces that shaped the lives of the children he met, and how the national attention Kennedy's trip received would bring issues of hunger and poverty into the forefront of political discussions in the United States for years to come." (Melanie Lee Dragger, The Literary South).
