SUMMARY:SB: Mixed Messages: Rabbit Foot Minstrels’ Long History and Ambiguous Legacy
DESCRIPTION:The famous Rabbit Foot Minstrels traveled through Mississippi performing in a large tent. Their marching band paraded through town at noon to attract attention\, and their orchestra played inside the tent at night for the singers\, dancers\, comedians and variety artists. All the performers were black\, and some appeared on stage in blackface\, a relic of the days when minstrel shows were performed by whites. They performed for mixed audiences of whites and blacks who crowded into the tent. \nRabbit Foot began life in 1900 as a musical comedy troupe owned and operated by a black businessman from Florida named Pat Chappelle. They played theaters\, opera houses and tents\, traveling on their own railroad cars. When Chappelle died in 1911\, a white carnival owner from Michigan named F.S. Walcott acquired the show\, moving its headquarters to Port Gibson\, Mississippi\, in 1918. \nThis presentation examines how the change from a black owner to a white one affected the way the show was presented to the public\, and raises questions about how that eventually affected other mass entertainment venues like radio and television. \nSpeakers Expertise: \nA retired professor from Alcorn State\, Dr. David Crosby has conducted many oral history interviews with people who were involved with the Rabbit Foot minstrels in Port Gibson or who witnessed the show in other parts of Mississippi. He has curated an exhibit that recreates the music\, images and feel of the old African American traveling tent show.

SUMMARY:Ideas on Tap: Meridian
DESCRIPTION:On May 23\, join the Mississippi Humanities Council and the MAX for the first ever Meridian Ideas on Tap program about art and what makes it “good” or “bad.” \nThe May 23 program will focus on how we perceive art\, the artists behind the works\, how historical context affects perceptions of art\, and the gatekeepers to the canon. Panelists include Mattie Codling (Walter Anderson Museum of Art)\, Marty Gamblin (The MAX – Mississippi’s Arts + Entertainment Experience)\, Lisa Howorth (author and co-founder of Square Books)\, and Stacey Wilson (The MAX – Mississippi’s Arts + Entertainment Experience). The panel will be moderated by The MAX – Mississippi’s Arts + Entertainment Experience historian Tony Lewis. \nAs with all our Ideas on Tap programs\, snacks and a great conversation are on us\, and drinks are on you. Beer is generously provided by Mitchell Distributing. \nDon’t forget to purchase a ticket for the MAXEats “Jazz Your Grits” event immediately following Ideas on Tap.
