SUMMARY:Time Bomb in a River: Ross Barnett\, JFK\, and 2 Million Pounds of Missing Chlorine
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Micah Rueber\, Humanities Teacher Awardee for Mississippi Valley State University\, will present his public lecture: \nRueber will present material he has gathered while working on a manuscript about a river barge that sank in 1961.  While barge sinkings are not uncommon\, this one drew the attention of President Kennedy because it was carrying 1000 tons of pressurized liquid chlorine that\, if released\, would threaten over 40\,000 people in and around Natchez\, MS.  The subsequent clean-up efforts\, which involved a wide range of both state and federal agencies\, reveals how Mississippi governor Ross Barnett\, while taking a very public stance against the federal government in refusing to admit James Meredith to Ole Miss\, showed quite a different character behind the scenes\, as he took great pains to make sure that the federal government spared no effort or expense in removing the dangerous material.

SUMMARY:The History and Phenomena of John Newton's "Amazing Grace!" within American Christianity and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nJohn Robert Hall\, Humanities Teacher Award winner for Holmes Community College\, presents his public lecture: \nIn 1772\, John Newton\, former slave trader turned Anglican priest\, wrote the words to the hymn titled “Amazing Grace!”  Though published in 1779\, “Amazing Grace!” remained a lesser known hymn in Great Britain; however\, in the nineteenth century in the United States\, it grew in popularity\, gained a new verse\, and secured its now recognizable hymn tune.  From the end of the twentieth century into the twenty-first century\, “Amazing Grace!” has become not only a popular song\, both musically and lyrically\, but often produces phenomena beyond the words of John Newton.

SUMMARY:Medievalism: The Uses of the Middle Ages in the Modern World
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Courtney Luckhardt\, Humanities Teacher Awardee for the University of Southern Mississippi\, presents her public lecture: \nIn order to make the history of the European Middle Ages relevant\, it’s important for both students and the wider public to understand the way that the history of pre-modern period is used by modern people. Dr. Luckhardt teaches not only on the history of the Middle Ages itself (500-1500 CE)\, but also on “medievalism\,” which is the use of ideas about the Middle Ages to serve contemporary needs. For instance\, ideas about the glory of the Middle Ages have been used by white supremacists to reduce the real and complex history of the period to the supposed “white” origins of civilization. In order to bust myths about the so-called “Dark Ages”\, we must re-examine our ideas about the past in light of cutting-edge scholarship\, which can help us to shake off antiquated ideas that reflect neither pre-modern historical realities\, nor who we are now in the 21st century.

SUMMARY:"1619" Myths and Memories of Slavery in the United States
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Christian Pinnen\, Humanities Teacher of the Year for Mississippi College\, presents his public lecture: \nThe date “1619” has garnered more attention than in recent memory over the last couple of months. The year the first enslaved Africans arrived on the shores of the Virginia colony engenders a sort of intellectual reckoning with Americas past and the deep roots of slavery in the history of the country\, but it also lays open the fault lines of our public discourse. I want to use this opportunity to talk about the role of the (digital) humanities at large in this debate\, how historians include the story of slavery in the production of American history\, and the difficulties historians encounter to cement the facts that surround the events in 1619. Engaging the public in a debate about the meaning of race and slavery in United States history is vital\, yet controversial even 400 plus years after the first arrival of enslaved people on the Eastern Seaboard.
