HC 9 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Hubert Creekmore; commend legacy as American author and poet in honor of Hubert Creekmore Day in Water Valley, MS.

This bill is a concurrent resolution (not a law) that establishes "Hubert Creekmore Day" in Water Valley, Mississippi, to honor the literary legacy of Hubert Creekmore (1907-1966). It commemorates his work as a Mississippi-born author, poet, and literary critic who addressed Southern history, racial discrimination, and LGBTQ+ themes in his novels and poetry. The resolution directs the state legislature to formally recognize his contributions and provides copies to his family and the press. It has no policy impact beyond this symbolic recognition.
