SUMMARY:SB - Woodrick - The History of Mississippi's Mascots (and a Few Others\, Too)
DESCRIPTION:Marino Casem\, the longtime coach at Alcorn State University and Southern University\, once famously stated that “in the South\, college football is a religion\, and every Sunday is a holy day.” This is certainly true for teams in the Southeastern Conference and especially true for Mississippi. Each fall\, hundreds of thousands of loyal fans flock to their respective campuses to root for their favorite teams and cheer for their beloved team mascots. If Casem’s quote is true\, these foam-headed cheerleaders might be considered the “saints” of this seemingly odd religion. Most fans\, however\, know little about the origin of their favorite mascots or other symbols of their university\, and many of these symbols have deep roots in history\, especially the Civil War years. During this presentation\, the hidden history of some of the South’s most beloved (or despised) mascots will be revealed\, including Mississippi State’s “Bully\,” the origin of the LSU Tigers and\, of course\, the story behind the Ole Miss Rebels.

SUMMARY:Ideas On Tap: Rural Education in Mississippi
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Facebook Live as we present Ideas On Tap: Rural Education in Mississippi\, a virtual panel discussion on October 5 at 5:30pm. This program was inspired by the recent New York Times article “The Tragedy of America’s Rural Schools”\, written by Casey Parks. The article addresses various issues taking place among America’s rural school systems\, with the Mississippi state takeover of the Holmes County Consolidated School District as its linchpin. \nThis program’s focus will follow suit\, addressing various issues of rural education systems across Mississippi with a focus on the Holmes county situation. Discussions will examine how the take over happened\, steps being taken to correct lingering problems\, and what preventative measures should be considered. \nThe panel will include Sherri Reeves (a long time Holmes county educator and P-16 council member)\, Sanford Johnson (Mississippi executive director of Teach Plus)\, and Rep. Kent McCarty (vice-chair of education for the Mississippi House of Representatives.) Bracey Harris of NBC News will moderate. The October 5 program will last an hour and include a brief Q&A session (10-15 mins) at the end
