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: Ralph Eubanks Author Event
DESCRIPTION:On June 17\, the Museum of the Mississippi Delta will host a free and open to the public reading of Mississippi author Ralph Eubanks’ newest book A Place Like Mississippi. The program will take place in conjunction with the Smithsonian traveling exhibition Crossroads: Change in Rural America\, on display in Greenwood through June 26. \nA Place Like Mississippi takes us on a literary tour of the evocative landscapes that have inspired writers in every era. From Faulkner to Wright\, Welty to Ward\, Mississippi has been both a backdrop and a central character in some of the most compelling prose and poetry of modern literature. Immersing us in these spaces\, Eubanks helps us understand that Mississippi is not only a state\, but a state of mind. This event is being held in collaboration with Turnrow Books\, which will have copies of the book available for purchase at the event. \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 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 22\, 10:30am
