On August 24, Mississippi Today Circle Members took part in a special, virtual conversation with artist Bill Dunlap, writer Hank Burdine and Mississippi Today CEO Mary Margaret White about the life and legacy of writer Julia Reed.

Julia and Bill shared an incredible friendship, from times spent together at the cool tables of Galatoire’s to the muddy sandbars of the Mississippi River, where she and Hank were famous for ferrying guests to drink and dine. This intimate conversation between Bill, Hank and Mary Margaret features a slideshow of images from Bill and Hank’s personal collection, accompanied by stories of Julia, their friendship, and the adventures they shared.
