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. 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 Museum of the Mississippi Delta will also host a series of programs that are free and open to the public. \nCrossroads events in Greenwood: \nMay 20\, 11:30am: “Why We Call It Soul Food” presentation\, Dr. Brinda Willis\nJune 5\, 10am: Trials of the Earth community book discussion\nJune 12\, 10am: “Rural Roots: What Did I Learn?” presentation\, Rev.

SUMMARY:Crossroads @ Greenwood: My Musical Delta Youth Workshop
DESCRIPTION:On June 15\, the Museum of the Mississippi Delta will host a free workshop for rising 5K- rising 2nd graders called “My Musical Delta.” The event will take place in conjunction with the Smithsonian traveling exhibition Crossroads: Change in Rural America\, on display in Greenwood through June 26. \nStorytime never sounded so good! Join us as we read from the award-winning picture book Muddy: The Story of Blues Legend Muddy Waters written by Michael Mahin and illustrated by Evan Turk. The book celebrates blues musician Muddy Water\, whose unique sound became the foundation for what would become rock and roll. After the story\, we will decorate a guitar as we listen to Muddy’s music. This event is being held in collaboration with Turnrow Books\, which will have copies of the book available for purchase at the event. \nThe “My Musical Delta” workshop series is part of Crossroads Children\, a series hosted in conjunction with the Smithsonian Crossroads exhibition\, to help children understand their own community and its contributions to the world. \nThere is no cost to attend the youth workshop programs\, but space is limited and registration is required.
