SUMMARY:Water/Ways in Columbus
DESCRIPTION:The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway Transportation Museum will host Water/Ways\, a traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian Institution\, from January 25 through March 8. \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:The Struggle Continues: Equity in Education
DESCRIPTION:In 2018\, the Hancock Performing Arts Center received a grant for a series of lectures entitled\, “The Struggle and the Music It Created.” The purpose of the project was to address race in Mississippi and to discuss the relevance of the music that defined the movement. The majority of the audience attending was students. After the lectures ended\, Kevin Allemand\, a history teacher\, noticed a shift in conversations where his students were engaged in the civil rights movement and asking questions and making comments. He realized that placing the students in the historical context as they listened to the lectures was transformative. For the 2019 Spring semester\, “The Struggle” conversations will continue by addressing equity in education in a series of three lectures and a poetry reading. \nFEBRUARY 12: Dr. Sherita L. Johnson from the University of Southern Mississippi will give a lecture and discuss the story of Clyde Kennard’s admission to the university and how his story united the campus to secure his legacy.

SUMMARY:Water/Ways @ Columbus: Ebbs and Flows of Mississippi History
DESCRIPTION:On February 19\, the Tenn-Tom Waterway Transportation Museum will host Dr. Jim Giesen of the MHC’s Speakers Bureau to present his free program\, “Ebbs and Flows of Mississippi History.” The free program will take place in conjunction with the Smithsonian traveling exhibit Water/Ways\, on display at the Tenn-Tom Waterway Transportation Museum through March 8. \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. 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 \nWater/Ways is a traveling exhibit offered by the Museum on Main Street division of the Smithsonian Institution. The exhibit explores water’s connection to all aspects of our society\, including the endless motion of the water cycle\, water’s effect on landscape\, settlement and migration\, and its impact on culture and spirituality. \nExhibit hours are Monday-Friday 9am-3pm and Saturday by appointment. School and group visits are welcome but are encouraged to schedule a visit by contacting the library in advance at 662-328-8936. \nFuture Water/Ways events in Columbus:\nFebruary 26\, 5pm: Mississippi Water: Shaped By the Past\, Molding the Future
