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:Speakers Bureau: The Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi
DESCRIPTION:This talk traces the roots of the modern civil rights movement to World War II\, a movement that began long before the Brown v.

Specifically\, Dr. Luckett discusses the major people and events of the modern civil rights movement in Mississippi like Emmett Till; Medgar and Myrlie Evers; Ross Barnett; the Citizens’ Council and the Sovereignty Commission; the Freedom Rides; James Meredith and the 1962 integration of Ole Miss; the 1963 Woolworth’s sit-in; leading civil rights organizations like the Council of Federal Organizations\, the Congress of Racial Equality\, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee\, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference\, and the NAACP; 1964 Freedom Summer; Fannie Lou Hamer; the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party; Anne Moody and Coming of Age in Mississippi; the Meredith March against Fear; and many other topics in the field. \nSpeakers Expertise:\nAs a Civil Rights historian\, Dr. Luckett’s expertise is on the modern Civil Rights Movement and the African-American experience. As director of the Margaret Walker Center at Jackson State University\, Dr. Luckett has become an expert on Walker’s life and her experiences\, especially as they related to the Black Arts Movement of the 20th century.
