LEESHA FAULKNER: Doors opening at Oren Dunn City Museum

It’s nearly time. Next week, the Oren Dunn City Museum – the much-improved Oren Dunn City Museum – will fling open her doors to the public for the first time in nearly nine months. (And no jokes about birthin’ babies). We’re doing this grand opening thing several different ways and on several different days. First, we’ll honor the ladies of the Tupelo Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta with a heritage exhibit and reception at 6 p.m. Monday. This is the first in a series of temporary exhibits to honor the Divine 9, as the Black fraternities and sororities are known. We are honored to have worked with these women, especially Tupelo Parks and Recreation’s own Shanta Jones, a new Delta.

LEESHA FAULKNER: J P Nanney proved a mayor for all seasons

With the 85th anniversary of the tornado of 1936 and the primaries for municipal elections this week, we dug back into the past to examine the career of the late J.P. Nanney. A native of Fulton, Nanney didn’t arrive in Tupelo until 1907, after working for a bank in Amory. He took a position as a bookkeeper for the Bank of Tupelo. That position began a rise to the top as the bank’s longtime president by 1931. Most people who remembered Nanney recalled his community service record and his 20 years at the helm of Tupelo city government, although he drew opposition every campaign.
