We are so proud of The Meridian Freedom Project students for their hard work this past summer installing 7 community gardens around our city. They learned a lot about reaping the benefits of hard work, as well as giving back to their communities.

We thank our community for 20 years of support. Did you receive one of our anniversary cards in the mail?
If not, please send us a direct message to get on our mailing list or update your information.

If Sonny were still living today, we expect he would enjoy joining us in celebrating all that TMI has done over the past 20 years to tell his story and upbuild the area he called home.

This letter was written in 1991 from Sonny Montgomery to the new TMI President, Beverly Knox!
Neither could have known at the time but now she leads the organization tasked with promoting his legacy and upbuilding this part of the country he loved so much.
