SUMMARY:Water/Ways in Meridian
DESCRIPTION:The Mississippi Industrial Heritage Museum will host Water/Ways\, a traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian Institution\, from July 14 through August 25. \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. It looks at how political and economic planning have long been affected by access to water and control of water resources. Human creativity and resourcefulness provide new ways of protecting water resources and renewing respect for the natural environment.

SUMMARY:Water/Ways @ MIHM: Ebbs & Flows of Mississippi History
DESCRIPTION:On August 2\, the Mississippi Industrial Heritage Museum will host Dr. James Giesen of the MHC’s Speakers Bureau to present his free and open to the public lecture “Water Ways: Ebbs & Flows of Mississippi History.” The program will take place in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institution’s traveling exhibit Water/Ways\, which the Mississippi Industrial Heritage Museum will host from July 14 through August 25. \nThere are few states where water has been more central to its history and culture than Mississippi. From ship-building on the coast to Native American migration along rivers and streams\, from Civil Rights Movement wade-ins to Civil War strategy\, water has played a central role in how and why the Magnolia State looks and operates as it does today. Giesen will tell three interrelated histories of water in Mississippi to make the case that Mississippians today often overlook both the breadth and variety of ways that water has affected the history of their state. From massive natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina and the 1927 Mississippi River Flood\, to great success stories like the shipbuilding and fishing industries\, to less well-known incidents where water played an important role in the development of small communities and towns\, the talk will tell not just the well-known water histories of the state\, but show how water has become an often overlooked factor in our past\, present\, and future. \nFuture Water/Ways events @ MIHM:\nAugust 9\, 4-8pm: Fish Fry and “Why We Call it Soul Food” Speakers Bureau presentation\nAugust 16\, 7pm: “Keep America Beautiful” presentation\nAugust 23\, 5-9pm: Evening Steam Up event\nAugust 25\, 12-1pm: “All Things Mississippi” Speakers Bureau presentation
