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

SUMMARY:Crossroads @ Waveland: Exploring Rural Mississippi Through Population Studies
DESCRIPTION:On August 11\, the Waveland Ground Zero Hurricane Museum will host Dr. John Green\, state scholar for the Crossroads exhibit\, to present his free program\, “From Snapshots to a Collage: Exploring Rural Mississippi through Population Studies.” The program will take place in conjunction with the Smithsonian traveling exhibit Crossroads: Change in Rural America\, on display in Waveland through August 14. \nMany popular images of rural people and places present them as homogeneous in terms of demographic\, social\, and economic characteristics and trends. This may lead to oversimplification of rural areas and limited efforts to meet the needs and priorities of people living in these places. Achieving a better understanding of rural communities requires defining our concepts and identifying indicators of rural life in terms of continuity and change. Following an exploration of the terms “rural” and “non-metropolitan\,” Dr. Green will share a series of graphical images and narratives about Mississippi’s rural people and places using population-level information\, emphasizing what these “snapshots” of rural life tell us about Mississippi and how we might use them to form a “collage” that captures both the similarity and diversity. \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 Waveland’s Ground Zero Hurricane Museum through August 14 and is open to the public Tuesdays-Saturdays 10am-3pm. Crossroads is free to visit.
