Queen of Falcon

At age eighty-eight, Mable Ross of Falcon, Mississippi is just hitting her stride. In poverty-stricken Delta Village, she is a modern-day folk hero. At age thirty-seven, Mable abandoned her work in the cotton fields to teach school. As a natural-born educator, Mable was able to impart on to her students both her love of learning and respect for good grades. By taking night classes, Mable graduated from college with a degree in psychology. She was sixty-two years old at the time. After she retired from teaching, Mable continued to influence her community, as a postmistress and newspaper columnist. From cotton fields to the classroom, from post-mistress to newspaper columnist, one theme has played true throughout her life, service to others. For the people of Falcon, she is the essence of kindness and compassion and a living example of human potential.
