Yoknapatawpha Press and the Meek School of Journalism and New Media, co-publishers of the forthcoming "RIOT: Witness to Anger and Change," wish to express our appreciation for your support of this unique publication project. Advance copies of the album have arrived, and we are very pleased with the results. Proceeds from the sale of the album will be used to sponsor student publication through the Student Entrepreneurship Fund. Work will begin this fall on the design and publication of a book of photo-essays by University of Mississippi journalism students who visited Ethiopia. The projected pub-date is January, 2016. Your donations helped make this possible, and we are very grateful for your generous support. Thank you! - Larry Wells, Publisher, Yoknapatawpha Press; Will Norton, Dean, Meek School of Journalism, and Charles Mitchell, Asst. Dean.
