SUMMARY:"Crossroads" Exhibit in Greenwood
DESCRIPTION:The Museum of the Mississippi Delta in Greenwood will host Crossroads: Change in Rural America\, a Smithsonian traveling exhibition\, from May 14 through June 25. \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.

SUMMARY:Crossroads @ Greenwood: Rural Roots: What Did I Learn?
DESCRIPTION:On June 12\, the Museum of the Mississippi Delta will host a free and open to the public discussion featuring Rev. Herron Wilson and Gene Dattel about their childhood experiences in rural Mississippi. The discussion will take place in conjunction with the Smithsonian traveling exhibition Crossroads: Change in Rural America\, on display in Greenwood through June 26. \nFor Rev. Herron Wilson and Gene Dattel\, a conversation about growing up in the Mississippi Delta is more than an exercise in nostalgia. It illustrates how rural life prepared two young boys of different races and religious backgrounds for their futures. While both men have stories to tell from different points of view\, they have one thing in common–their boyhood in the Mississippi Delta had a profound impact on the people they would become. \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 at the Museum of the Mississippi Delta through June 26 and is open to the public Tuesdays-Saturdays 10am-3pm. Crossroads is free to visit. \nUpcoming Crossroads events in Greenwood:\nJune 17\, 6pm: A Place Like Mississippi reading and signing\, Ralph Eubanks\nJune 24\, 6pm: Trials of the Earth reading and signing\, Kerry Hamilton \nUpcoming “Crossroads Children” events:\nMy Musical Delta workshop (rising 5K-rising 2nd grades)\nJune 15\, 10:30am\nJune 22\, 10:30am
