- **Event Description**: Step into a fascinating chapter of Mississippi history at the Corinth Coliseum on May 15, 2026, for an unforgettable evening centered around the legendary “Whiskey Speech.”

Reception, film presentation, live music… and plenty of whiskey!

This compelling documentary, produced and directed by David Crews, explores the life and legacy of Noah S. "Soggy" Sweat Jr. and his iconic 1952 address—widely regarded as one of the most memorable examples of political rhetoric in American history. Delivered during Mississippi’s prohibition era, the speech famously argued both for and against whiskey in the same breath, earning its reputation as a masterclass in persuasive “double-speak.”

Through rich storytelling and historical insight, the film examines the cultural, political, and social impact of the speech, featuring interviews and testimonials from notable voices including John Grisham and Morgan Freeman.

Doors will open at 7:00 PM, with the evening’s program beginning at 7:15 PM. Guests will be welcomed with introductions, special recognition, a brief look into the history of the Coliseum, and the introduction of writer, producer, and director David Crews.

The film presentation will begin at 7:30 PM.

Following the screening, the evening continues with a cash bar and a live performance by Mississippi Mojo—also known as the “Soggy Bottom Boys”—bringing the spirit of the story to life through music.

Join us for an evening that blends history, storytelling, and Southern culture in a way that is as entertaining as it is enlightening.
