SUMMARY:The 4th Annual Winning the Race Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Winning the Race Conference was developed with three overarching goals: engage in conversations with campus and community constituencies that will build an appreciation for diversity differences and a spirit of community through shared ideas; promote a broad discourse on race relations by building conversations to bring together diverse communities in the Delta through sharing of ideas and building cooperation; and to rekindle a hope that Delta communities will move toward greater equality and forward and open thinking while reducing racial disparities and tensions. \nDelta State University’s award-winning race relations conference\, Winning the Race\, will feature two highlight speakers at this year’s event which will be hosted on campus March 28-29. Keynote speakers for the 2017 conference will be announced soon. \n  \nThis year’s conference is titled “Winning the Race: Advancing Education in the Mississippi Delta.” The inaugural program spearheaded by Delta State President William N. LaForge in 2014\, was designed as an innovative academic conference. The 2017 schedule promises to build on the meaningful dialogue presented at previous conferences. \nDelta State University \nNo Cost \nSponsored by Delta State University & Mississippi Humanities Council \nFor more information:\nDr. Temika Simmons\, (662) 846-4365

SUMMARY:Speakers Bureau: Mississippi in the Work of Sherwood Bonner
DESCRIPTION:Holly Springs native Katherine Sherwood Bonner McDowell (1849-1883) left her Mississippi Home in 1873 to pursue a literary career in the Northeast. She became “Sherwood Bonner\,” a writer whose witty stories shed light on the dynamics of region\, race\, and gender in both the reconstruction South and post-Civil War America. Bonner enjoyed brief notoriety during her own time\, but the recent republication of her work has drawn serious critical attention to it and the picture it offers of the writer’s relationship to her time and place. \nKathryn B. McKee is McMullan Associate Professor of Southern Studies and Associate Professor of English at the University of Mississippi. \nColumbus-Lowndes Public Library- 12:00p.m. \nNo Cost \nSponsored by Columbus-Lowndes Public Library & MS Humanities Council \nFor more information:\nMona Vance-Ali 662-329-5304
