- Sweet Potato Queens
The Sweet Potato Queens [http://www.sweetpotatoqueens.com/] , based in Jackson,
Mississippi , is a women's organization with over 5500 chapters in over 20 countries.The Sweet Potato Queens concept has been explained and made popular by a series of books by Jill Conner Browne, born in Tupelo and raised in Jackson, who came up with the idea in 1982. (Browne is the author of a number of books which form the backbone of the Sweet Potato Queen "movement.") It involves a belief in a
sisterhood that promotes self esteem and positive thinking, appealing to mostly middle-aged middle-class women. In 2005, almost ten thousand women dressed up in costumes and came to Jackson for the annual Hal and Mal'sSt. Patrick’s Day parade, proceeds from which benefited a local children’s hospital.Each local chapter assumes its own theme and designs its own costumes. Some of the chapters participate in parades and fund-raisers in their local communities.
