SUMMARY:O.N. Pruitt's Possum Town: Photographing Trouble and Resilience in The American South
DESCRIPTION:This event is a traveling multimedia exhibition that reveals life in northeast Mississippi based on the photography of O.N. Pruitt. From 1915 to 1960\, Pruitt\, a white man in a racially segregated society\, recorded community celebrations as well as troubling violence. His work is distinguished from others of his time by his diligent and prolific depictions of the joys and sorrows of everyday people—both Black and white—in his hometown of Columbus\, locally referred to as “Possum Town.”

SUMMARY:2022 Public Humanities Awards
DESCRIPTION:The Mississippi Humanities Council is delighted to announce recipients for its 2022 Public Humanities Awards\, which recognize outstanding work by Mississippians in bringing the insights of the humanities to public audiences. These recipients will be honored at a public ceremony and reception Friday evening\, March 25\, at the Two Mississippi Museums in Jackson. \nDr. William Reynolds Ferris\, former chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities\, will receive the Cora Norman Award in recognition of his distinguished career as a scholar and national leader in the humanities. A native of Vicksburg\, Ferris is a writer\, folklorist\, and documentarian who has written or edited ten books about Mississippi culture and history. He was a founding director of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi. In 2018 he produced the Grammy Award-winning box set Voices of Mississippi containing his field recordings and documentary films. Ferris is currently the Joel R. Williamson Eminent Professor of History Emeritus at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He served as chairman of the NEH from 1997 to 2001. Jon Parrish Peede\, one of Ferris’ former students who served as NEH chairman from 2017 to 2020\, will present the Cora Norman award to Ferris. \n“In 2022 we will mark the 50th anniversary of the MHC with our year-long theme “Reflecting Mississippi\,” and we can think of no public scholar who has done more than Bill Ferris to reflect the richness and complexity of our state’s culture\, from its music\, folklife\, and history to its art and literature\,” said Stuart Rockoff executive director of the Mississippi Humanities Council. “It will be especially appropriate to honor his lifetime of leadership in the public humanities during our 50th anniversary year. We are very excited to have both Mississippians who have served as chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities participating in the ceremony.” \nIn addition to honoring Ferris\, the MHC will also recognize: \nHumanities Scholar Award: Dr. Daphne Chamberlain\, associate professor of history at Tougaloo College for her commitment to bridging academic humanities and the public through her expertise as a civil rights historian. \nHumanities Partner Award: New Hope Baptist Church in Jackson for its outstanding Black History Month programs that have received MHC grant support for several years. \nHumanities Educator: Mississippi Delta Community College Prison Education Program for its work providing for-credit courses to incarcerated students at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. \nPreserver of Mississippi Culture: Fannie Lou Hamer’s America Project\, which produced a documentary film that will be broadcast nationwide over public television\, bringing the voice and story of an extraordinary Mississippian to a national audience. \nReflecting Mississippi Award:  W. Ralph Eubanks for his work as a memoirist and literary scholar that has helped revise our state’s narratives to reflect Mississippi more honestly and accurately. \nThe MHC will also recognize 30 recipients of the 2022 Humanities Teacher Awards\, which pay tribute to outstanding faculty in traditional humanities fields at each of our state’s institutions of higher learning. \nThe Council invites everyone to join them at their 2022 Public Humanities Awards ceremony and reception March 25\, 2022\, at 5:30 p.m. at the Two Mississippi Museums in Jackson. \nTickets for the Mississippi Humanities Council Public Humanities Awards ceremony and reception are $50 each and may be purchased online here or by sending a check to the Mississippi Humanities Council\, 3825 Ridgewood Road\, Room 317\, Jackson\, MS 39211.
