SUMMARY: The Cottrell Street Music and Heritage Festival in West Point, Mississippi, recently won the Outstanding New Small Event Under 5,000 at the Mississippi Main Street Awards, bringing renewed attention to a neighborhood that has been revitalizing over the past three years. Historically a bustling hub for the black community from the 1940s to the 1980s, the area declined due to drugs and crime. Mayor Rod Bobo aims to honor its significance as the center of African-American business. Eleven Main Streets from various areas, including Aberdeen and Tupelo, also received awards.
