The year was 1942. World War II raged, Casablanca premiered in New York City, and Elizabeth Spencer exited Belhaven with a diploma in hand.This Carrollton, Miss. native went on to achieve literary prestige in a time of great change.  She is also the subject of a feature-length documentary, says a recent article in  The Clarion-Ledger. The documentary is still in the works, but keep a look out for the interesting story of a Belhaven grad who went on to address many issues at the heart of a slowly changing Southern landscape.
