In Memory of Gov. William F. Winter

(February 21, 1923 – December 18, 2020)

We honor the life and legacy of Governor William Winter, who was the conscience of Mississippi and a stalwart champion of education equity and racial reconciliation. We knew him as a true servant leader and friend to our organization, which is honored to bear his name. He will be deeply missed.
