Mozelle Memoir Contest
The Mozelle Memoir
Contest, established by Roy and Barbara Minton in 2006, offers an opportunity
for writers to tell the stories they’ve always meant to write. The name
of the contest is derived from the title of Barbara's first published story in
The Noble Generation Volume II (Word Wright International.biz 2004). "Mozelle"
is the story of two young girls in the 1940's, discovering friendship while caught
in the time warp of segregation, a world war, and plain old happenstance. The
dignity and courage of Mozelle lives on through the telling of her story.
