SUMMARY:SB: The Mississippi Plan and the Rise of Jim Crow
DESCRIPTION:After the Civil War\, African Americans in the South\, newly freed\, expressed a tangible optimism that led to the reuniting of families\, the development of social institutions like the black church\, the rise of cultural expressions like the Blues and jazz\, the establishment of black-owned businesses and other economic endeavors\, and the wielding of significant political power. On the other hand\, as Dr. Luckett explains in this talk\, most white southerners\, especially in Mississippi\, saw this rise of black social\, economic and political power as a direct threat to their hegemony\, which had been so well established during the era of slavery\, and whites sought to “redeem” their place in the southern hierarchy through violent extra-legal measures like lynching and through the realm of law. The invention of Jim Crow and what became known as the “Mississippi Plan” became the models for the rest of the South. The Mississippi Plan and Jim Crow stood on the shoulders of black disfranchisement\, segregation and sharecropping to guarantee white power as well as second-class citizenship for African Americans throughout the South\, a status black southerners have fought ever since. \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. \n  \n*Presentation will take place in the Pope Banquet Room of the Hogarth Building
