William Alexander Percy (May 14, 1885 – January 21, 1942) was a lawyer, planter and poet from Greenville, Mississippi. His autobiography Lanterns on the Levee (Knopf 1941) became a bestseller. His father, LeRoy Percy, was the last United States Senator from Mississippi elected by the legislature. And in that largely Protestant state, William championed the Roman Catholicism of his French mother.

Greenville’s extraordinary literary tradition has produced more writers than any town its size in the country. Over 100 published writers made Greenville their home in the 20th century. The Writer’s Exhibit houses original manuscripts and documents the accomplishments of such writers as William Alexander Percy, for whom the library is named, Shelby Foote, Angela Jackson, Hodding Carter, Bern Keating, Ellen Douglas and Walker Percy, among others.
