Unveiling: Anne Pope, at left, leans in to speak with Beverly Bardequez on Sunday as Bardequez pulls off the cloth that covers a sign stating that the Rapp Road historic neighborhood is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The unveiling took place during the weekend of the 60th family reunion of the Rapp Road community. Pope, director for the northeast region of the NAACP, grew up in Shubuta, Mississippi, the same small town from which the original settlers of the Rapp Road neighborhood came, beginning in the 1930s.
