SUMMARY:Evicted: An Exhibition of the National Building Museum
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \nIn 2018\, the National Building Museum opened an exhibition exploring the causes and impacts of eviction\, based on Matthew Desmond’s award‐winning book Evicted. Since then\, the exhibit has taught thousands about the national eviction crisis. A stable place to call home is one of the best predictors of success. Yet\, each year more than 2.3 million Americans\, mostly low‐income renters\, face eviction. In the context of the COVID‐19 pandemic\, the eviction crisis has further exploded. According to Mississippi Today\, nearly 50% of renters in the state face eviction this year. The traveling version of Evicted offers the opportunity to introduce audiences here to the eviction crisis so that they can learn how it affects their communities. Visitors will build empathy as they learn about housing instability through a local conversation about eviction that has national implications. The exhibition\, which runs June 28 to October 3\, 2021\,  presents sobering statistics and personal stories\, challenging adults and youth to face the enormity of a difficult subject\, while providing context and a call to action.

SUMMARY:"Crossroads" Exhibit in Waveland
DESCRIPTION:The Ground Zero Hurricane Museum in Waveland will host Crossroads: Change in Rural America\, a Smithsonian traveling exhibition\, from July 3 through August 14. \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 Waveland Ground Zero Hurricane Museum will also host a series of programs that are free and open to the public. \nCrossroads events in Waveland: \nJuly 14\, 6pm: “Port and Harbor: An Asset to Hancock County” presentation\, William Cotter\nJuly 21\, 6pm: “Creative Economy of Hancock County” presentation\, Steve Barney\nJuly 24\, 6pm: “Agricultural Changes of Hancock County” presentation\, Dr. Christian Stephenson\nJuly 28\, 6pm: “African American History and Influence in Hancock County” presentation\, Art Clementin\nAugust 4\, 6pm: “Logtown to Infinity” presentation\, Allison Anderson and Brehm Bell\nAugust 11\, 6pm: “Exploring Rural Mississippi Through Population Studies” presentation\, Dr. John Green
