William Stewart, left, and Dilla Buckner share a laugh Sunday during the last day of the Rosa A. Temple Class of 1959 reunion. The group, which kicked off festivities Friday, gathered at Jacques’ Cafe for breakfast and a memorial service Sunday morning. Of the 96 who graduated, 37 attended this year’s reunion. Temple, the last all-black school in Vicksburg, was named for city native Rosa A. Temple, who was born in 1869 and was active in local schools and churches until her death in 1972.
