SUMMARY:Modernism\, Poetry and Cinema Celebrity Culture: At the Crossroads of High and Low Art
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Leticia Alonso\, Humanities Teacher Award winner for Jackson State University\, will present her public lecture: \nAt the heart of Modernism was the attraction to cinema celebrity culture. The popularization of film stars such as Charlie Chaplin\, Buster Keaton\, Mary Pickford and Brigitte Helm shaped the cultural imaginary of modernity to such an extent that they influenced the creative activity of writers in the years 1900-1950. This presentation will explore how Modernist poetry challenges traditional categorizations of high and low art forms by drawing on cinema as a genre initially associated with mass culture. Questions centering on stardom and ways of seeing will thus reflect on the intersections of poetry with popular culture\, publicity and performance.

SUMMARY:50th Recollection of Gibbs-Green: Survivors Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nIn the spring of 1970\, college and university students across the country protested against the Vietnam War\, racism\, gender oppression\, and a host of other issues\, at times leading to violent and deadly confrontations with police and national guard troops. On May 14th\, 1970\, students at Jackson State College staged a demonstration condemning racial discrimination in Mississippi and the killing of four students at Kent State University by the Ohio National Guard on May 4th. The demonstration continued into the night. Shortly after midnight on May 15th\, police\, who claimed they had been shot at\, opened fire on students gathered outside Alexander Hall\, a campus dormitory. When the shooting stopped\, 21-year-old Phillip Gibbs and 17-year-old James Green lay dead. twelve other students were injured. \nThe 50th anniversary commemoration of the shooting on what is now the campus of Jackson State University will include five major programs. The Student Government Association\, Gibbs-Green Commission\, and Gibbs-Green  Oral History Project developed the programs which will coordinate with Kent State University to link the events on both campuses. \nFebruary 27th: \nThe second event is a reception to open an exhibit that features displays about the lives of the survivors\, with pictures\, personal papers\, and other items that help tell the story about how the experience shaped them in the years following. Vernon Weakley\, one of the wounded\, and James Lap Baker\, Eddie Jan Car\, Lee Bernard\, Hillman Frazier\, Charles Holmes\, Gailya Porter\, and Quilly Turner\, students who were shot at\, will speak with the audience about the shooting and how it impacted their lives. The exhibit will remain on display through June 2020.

Constance Slaughter-Harvey on February 27. \nAfter serving as student body president and graduating from Tougaloo College with a degree in political science\, Slaughter attended law school at the University of Mississippi. In 1970\, amid death threats and constant prejudice\, she became the first African American woman to receive a law degree from the school.
