SUMMARY:"Crossroads" Exhibit in Columbia
DESCRIPTION:The Marion County Museum will host Crossroads: Change in Rural America\, a Smithsonian traveling exhibition\, from March 27 through May 8. \nCrossroads is a traveling exhibit offered by the Museum on Main Street division of the Smithsonian Institution. It consists of six free-standing display units incorporating photographs\, text\, and numerous interactive elements. Requiring a minimum of 750 sq. ft.\, the exhibit is designed for smaller venues to achieve Museum on Main Street’s goal of bringing the Smithsonian to small town America. The exhibit is free and open to the public to visit. The Mississippi tour of Crossroads is sponsored by a generous grant from Entergy Mississippi. \nCrossroads: Change in Rural America offers small towns a chance to look at their own paths to highlight the changes that affected their fortunes over the past century. The exhibition will prompt discussions about what happened when America’s rural population became a minority of the country’s population and the ripple effects that occurred. \nIn addition to hosting the exhibition\, the Marion County Museum will also host a series of programs that are free and open to the public. \nCrossroads events in Columbia:\nApril 3\, 3pm: Columbia Main Street Historic Tour\nApril 3\, 5pm: City Cemetery Historic Tour\nApril 17\, 3pm: Lampton Rural Center Tour\nApril 30\, 8am:“From Snapshots to a Collage: Exploring Rural Mississippi Through Population Studies” presentation\, Dr. John Green

SUMMARY:The Glitterary Festival
DESCRIPTION:“The inaugural Glitterary Festival is a queer literary festival with a broad definition of what is literature and what is queer. We’re interested in texts where gender\, sexuality\, masculinity and femininity can be challenged and explored. We’re invested in conversations about race and class and issues of intersectionality. We’re intrigued by transgressions of boundaries\, queering what we think we know about identity. We are curious about the intersections of the written word with the natural world and with other art forms\, such as music\, dance\, film\, visual arts\, etc. And we’re creating an inclusive space that welcomes not only academics and writers but anyone open to learning and celebrating queer literature\, with a special outreach focus encouraging the participation of Mississippi teenagers.” \n  \nFULL CONFERENCE SCHEDULE AVAILABLE HERE: https://glitteraryfestival.com/schedule \nREGISTER HERE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSddAfmJWp1CvGo9RKXf9kLm4O_h_iK5ov9CxL-dxj8UqUjkcw/viewform

SUMMARY:The Slave Dwelling Project: Natchez
DESCRIPTION:The widely acclaimed Slave Dwelling Project comes to Natchez April 17 as part of an effort designed to bring attention to the world of the enslaved in the Natchez District. \nEducator and interpreter Joseph McGill (pictured left) founded the Slave Dwelling Project as a living history lesson. His goal is to spend an evening in every one of the nation’s last remaining slave dwellings\, helping raise awareness and preserve these structures for future study and understanding. To accommodate COVID-19 social distancing\, Natchez events will be restricted to online presentations by McGill. \nMcGill will broadcast from the Slave Dwelling Project Facebook Page on Facebook Live at 11 am from the Forks of the Road\, site of the second largest slave market in the Deep South.  He will also broadcast on Facebook Live at 6 pm from Melrose\, a National Historic Landmark and a component of the Natchez National Historical Park. Constructed in the 1840s\, Melrose is one of the most significant historic sites in the South. In addition to the Greek Revival mansion and collection of outbuildings\, the estate contains two original slave cabins. At 7 pm\, McGill will hold a Zoom discussion in which the public may participate. Information about how to register for the Zoom conversation is listed at www.slavedwellingproject.org under the Upcoming Events tab. \nMcGill’s Natchez visit is supported by a grant from the Mississippi Humanities Council and is sponsored by the Historic Natchez Foundation and Natchez National Historical Park. \nFor more information\, call the Melrose Visitor Center at 601-446-5790.

SUMMARY:Crossroads @ Columbia: Lampton Rural Center Tour
DESCRIPTION:On April 17\, the Marion County Historical Society in Columbia will host a free program about the historic Lampton Rural Center near Columbia\, Mississippi. The program will take place in conjunction with the Smithsonian traveling exhibit Crossroads: Change in Rural America\, on display in Columbia through May 8. \nLocated just four miles south of Columbia\, this community center was dedicated in 1949 to serve the largest black community in Mississippi. The first of its kind in Mississippi brought the whole of the Marion County community together in support of a much needed space for community and spiritual activity in the area. The building itself includes a gymnasium\, offices\, a library\, activity rooms and a kitchen. The Center was built with support from The Woman’s Division of Christin Service of the Methodist Church through its Board of Missions. A Vocational and Technical Center was built nearby under the management of both county and city school systems. The present director and administrative personnel will share much of their story\, changes over time and needs for the future. \nCrossroads: Change in Rural America offers small towns a chance to look at their own paths to highlight the changes that affected their fortunes over the past century. The exhibition will prompt discussions about what happened when America’s rural population became a minority of the country’s population and the ripple effects that occurred. \nThe exhibit will be on display in the Marion County Museum and is open to the public Tuesdays to Saturdays 9am-5pm. Crossroads is free to visit. \nWeather date for the Lampton Rural Center tour and program will be Saturday\, April 24. \nUpcoming Crossroads events in Columbia:\nApril 30\, 8am:“From Snapshots to a Collage: Exploring Rural Mississippi Through Population Studies” presentation\, Dr. John Green
