SUMMARY:"Voices and Votes" Exhibit in Hattiesburg
DESCRIPTION:The Library of Hattiesburg\, Petal\, and Forrest County will host Voices and Votes: Democracy in America\, a Smithsonian traveling exhibition\, from March 28 through May 14. The exhibit is open to the public Monday-Thursday 9:00 am-5:30 pm\, and Friday-Saturday 9:00 am-3:00 pm. \nVoices and Votes 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 650 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. \nVoices and Votes: Democracy in America traces the bold American experiment of a government run by and for the people. The exhibit examines the influences that shaped the early days of American democracy and the changes that have occurred in the nearly 250 years since. \nDemocracy is a form of government that requires civic engagement and participation. It is formed by citizens’ responses to ongoing questions: What are the rights and responsibilities of citizens? What is the role of the government in American life? How do citizens participate in democracy? Beginning with the American Revolution\, this exhibition explores these questions and more. \nIn addition to hosting the exhibit\, the library will also host a series of programs that are free and open to the public. \nVoices and Votes events in Hattiesburg:\nMarch 28\, 5:30 pm: Opening reception and presentation from Hattiesburg mayor Toby Barker\, “All Politics is Local – Campaigning South Mississippi Style”\nMarch 31\, 2pm: Thursday Theater\, Lincoln\nApril 11\, 6pm: Presentation from Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson\, “Mississippi’s Initiative Process: What it was\, what it is\, what it can be”\nApril 14\, 2pm: Thursday Theater\, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington\nApril 22\, 6pm: Presentation from Hattiesburg attorney Michael Adelman\, “An Equal Opportunity to Participate: The Change in Hattiesburg Municipal Government\, 1984”\nApril 28\, 2pm: Thursday Theater\, All the King’s Men\nMay 2\, 6pm: Presentation from Voices and Votes state scholar Dr. Rebecca Tuuri\, “Democracy in Mississippi: Race\, Violence and Power in the Struggle for the Vote”

SUMMARY:A Movement in Every Direction: Legacies of the Great Migration
DESCRIPTION:A Movement in Every Direction: Legacies of the Great Migration explores the profound impact of the Great Migration on the social and cultural life of the United States from historical and personal perspectives. Co-organized with the Baltimore Museum of Art\, the exhibition features newly commissioned works by 12 acclaimed Black artists across a variety of media. The Great Migration (1915-1970) saw more than six million Black Americans leave the South for cities across the United States. Informed by research\, explorations\, and conversations\, the artists’ works explore themes of perseverance\, self-determination\, and self-reliance\, along with the impacts this historical phenomenon continues to have today.
