SUMMARY:Water/Ways in Clarksdale
DESCRIPTION:The Lower Mississippi River Foundation will host Water/Ways\, a traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian Institution\, from August 31 through October 13. \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: Behind Every Good Man is a Civil Rights Heroine
DESCRIPTION:Who were the people who became most involved in the Civil Rights Movement? Who were its leaders and footsoldiers? How do we even define such roles? Who are the people who have become immortalized as heroes in our memory of the movement? Why? This presentation will explore the multitude of ways that women became involved in the pursuit of racial equality in the 1950s\, 60s\, and 70s. It will also explore the great odds that they faced\, not only as African Americans but also as women. I will focus espcially on women’s role in providing the informal leadership\, infrastructure\, and commitment necessary to maintain the stamina of the postwar civil rights struggle. Finally\, we will consider the ways in which the memory of the Civil Rights Movement has erased or misrepresented women’s historic contributions in the struggle and the implications of this for future scholarship on the movement. \nSpeakers Expertise:\nDr. Rebecca Tuuri is an assistant professor of African American and American history at the University of Southern Mississippi. She received a Ph.D. in United States History from Rutgers University in 2012\, with a concentration in Women’s and Gender and African American history. Her current manuscript\, Careful Crusader: The History of the National Council of Negro Women in Black Freedom Struggle investigates the history of the civil war rights work of the largest black women’s organization in the 1960s and 1970s.

SUMMARY:Water/Ways @ LMRF: Ebbs and Flows in Mississippi History
DESCRIPTION:On September 8\, the Lower Mississippi River Foundation 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” at the Quapaw Canoe Company in Clarskdale. The program will take place in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institution’s traveling exhibit Water/Ways\, which the Lower Mississippi River Foundation will host from August 31 through October 13. \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 @ LMRF*\nSeptember 8\, 2pm (HELENA): “The Mississippi Flood of 1927”\nSeptember 14-15 (HELENA): “Plein Air Paint Out” art competition and classes\nSeptember 15\, 9am (HELENA): Kayak test drive\nSeptember 15\, 12pm: “Flood Control on the Big River” panel discussion\nSeptember 22: Smithsonian Museum Day\nSeptember 22 (HELENA): Great Arkansas Clean Up\nSeptember 22\, 4pm: “Relay of Voices” dance and storytelling performance\nSeptember 23\, 3pm (HELENA): Autumn kayak tour\nSeptember 27\, 5pm (HELENA): Youth art exhibit and sale\nSeptember 29\, 12pm: Youth art exhibit and sale\nOctober 6\, 12pm: “Swimming and Civil Rights” panel discussion\nOctober 6-7: Sunflower River Paddle Day\nOctober 7\, 12pm: “Mississippi River Blues”\nOctober 7\, 3pm (HELENA) Horner Neck kayak tour\nOctober 13\, 9am: River Clean-Up\nOctober 13 (HELENA): Steamboat presentation and kids’ craft time \n*Most Water/Ways events take place in Clarksdale.
