2008 Public Humanities Achievement Award
The Council presented its 2008 Public Humanities Achievement Award to the
Delta State University Center for Culture and Learning for its multiple partnerships with the Council over the years to bring top-quality humanities programming to Mississippi,
including the highly successfully Mississippi Music Teacher Workshop last summer which focused on Mississippi-bred music styles.
A second Public Humanities Achievement Award went to Mississippi Public Broadcasting for its support of the national opening ceremony in Meridian last March for the Mississippi Humanities Council's New Harmonies exhibit and the ongoing "Mississippi Moments" radio segments.
