SUMMARY:Water/Ways in Moss Point
DESCRIPTION:The Pascagoula River Audubon Center will host Water/Ways\, a traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian Institution\, from May 31 through July 7. The exhibit\, which will be free and open to the public\, will include a local quilt exhibition\, “A River in Stitches” featuring quilts from around the state that focus on water themes. Visit the MHC’s calendar for a complete list of Water/Ways-related programming at the Pascagoula River Audubon Center. \nWater/Ways is a traveling exhibit offered by the Museum on Main Street division of the Smithsonian Institution. It consists of five free-standing display units incorporating photographs and text as well as numerous interactives ranging from basic flip charts to state of the art audio and video devices. Requiring a display area of a minimum of 650 sq. ft.\, the exhibit is designed for smaller venues\, thereby achieving the goal of “bringing the Smithsonian to Small Town America.” \nWater/Ways explores the endless motion of the water cycle\, water’s effect on landscape\, settlement and migration\, and its impact on culture and spirituality.

Human creativity and resourcefulness provide new ways of protecting water resources and renewing respect for the natural environment. \nWater/Ways-Related Programming @ PRAC\nJune 2 (1-3pm): Opening Reception\, “A River in Stitches” quilt exhibition (FREE)\nJune 2 (10-11am): The Singing River Gets the Blues (FREE)\nJune 4-July 19: Kids Camp ($)\nJune 9: TBA (FREE)\nJune 16 (1-2pm): Water/Ways lecture by Dr. James Giesen (FREE)\nJune 23 (1-2pm): Mobile Baykeeper Talk (FREE)\nJune 30 (1pm): Writing on the River ($)\nJuly 7 (1pm): Rain Barrel Workshop ($) \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Speakers Bureau: Rodgers and Rodgers: Distant Father\, Native Son
DESCRIPTION:Rogers and Rodgers: Distant Father\, Native Son\, or The Short Saga of “The World’s Only Yodeling Rope-Throwers” illuminates the relationship between Mississippi’s “Father of Country Music” and Oklahoma’s “Favorite Son\,” Jimmie Rodgers and Will Rogers. \nDuring January and February of 1931\, Will Rogers\, American cowboy\, vaudeville performer\, humorist\, social commentator and motion picture actor\, mounted a Red Cross relief tour to distant drought victims in Texas\, Oklahoma and Arkansas. This tour\, presenting a total of 52 performances in 48 towns and lasting a mere 18 days\, raised approximately $250\,000 for the needy in these states. Mississippi’s own Jimmie Rodgers\, a.k.a. “America’s Blue Yodeler” and “The Father of Country Music\,” joined up with Will for a portion of this endeavor\, performing a limited number of engagements due to his rapidly deteriorating health. It was during this short period of time that Will and Jimmie became fast friends. Will took to referring to Jimmie as his “Distant Son.” \nThis presentation employs primary and secondary documents\, along with music and visual images\, to elucidate the nature of this relationship between these two hugely popular icons of the first half of the 20th century and their impact on American society of this period and beyond. \nSpeakers Expertise:\nAs Special Projects Director for the Mississippi Humanities Council\, including state coordinator for the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum on Main Street traveling exhibit program\, Morgan has undertaken extensive primary and secondary research into the relationship between Jimmie Rodgers and Will Rogers.
