Doing so deepens and enriches our understanding of these literary giants and the Mississippi modernism they made together.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote on the Conference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e   Annette Trefzer and Jay Watson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"What There Is to Say\": Looking Back at My Friendship with Eudora Welty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e   Suzanne Marrs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisionary and Incomplete: Comparing Cultural Landscapes of Faulkner, Wright, and Welty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e   Julia Eichelberger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWitnessing Jim Crow: Three Mississippi Writers and the Politics of Critical Race Theory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e   Susan V.
