Join us for the Four Immortal Chaplains program from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Friday, February 2, in the Craig H. Neilsen Auditorium of the Two Mississippi Museums. This is a program organized by the Mississippi National Guard commemorating four chaplains who died on the S.S. Dorchester during WWII. The men—Lt. George L. Fox, a Methodist minister of Pennsylvania; Lt. Alexander D. Goode, a Reform rabbi of New York; Lt. Clark V. Poling, a Reformed Church in America minister of Ohio; and Lt. John P. Washington, a Roman Catholic priest from New Jersey—acted bravely by giving up their life vests to soldiers on the sinking ship. This ceremony will honor their life and bravery. A reception will follow the event. For more information, call 601-576-6850 or email info@mdah.ms.gov.
