Hazel Brannon Smith
Hazel Freeman Brannon Smith (February 4, 1914, Alabama City, Alabama - May 15, 1994, Cleveland, Tennessee), was a journalist and publisher, the owner and editor of four weekly newspapers in rural Mississippi, mostly in Holmes County. In 1964 she was the first woman to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing, largely for her writing about the Civil Rights Movement.
A lifelong Baptist, she described herself as "just a little editor in a little spot. A lot of other little editors in a lot of little spots is what helps make this country. It's either going to help protect that freedom that we have, or else it's going to let that freedom slip away by default."
==Biography==
Hazel Freeman Brannon was born in 1914 in Alabama City, Alabama. She attended local schools and was raised a Baptist by her parents. In 1930, she graduated from high school in Gadsden, at the age of 16. She attended the University of Alabama and graduated in 1935 with a B.A. in Journalism.
After graduation, she went to Durant, Mississippi and bought the failing ''Durant News'' in Holmes County; it was bordered on the west by the Yazoo River and was part of the Mississippi Delta. By 1943 she had turned the paper around and bought ''The Lexington Advertiser'' in the nearby county seat of Lexington. She edited and published the ''Lexington Advertiser,'' the major newspaper in Holmes County, for four decades from 1943 to 1983. In 1956, she acquired the ''Banner County Outlook'' (Flora, Mississippi) and the ''Northside Reporter'' (Jackson, Mississippi), the latter in the state capital. She married Walter B. Smith, a hospital administrator.
