SUMMARY:"Voices and Votes" Smithsonian Exhibit in Vicksburg
DESCRIPTION:The Catfish Row Museum in Vicksburg will host Voices and Votes: Democracy in America\, a Smithsonian traveling exhibition\, from November 19\, 2022 until January 20\, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public. \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. 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 museum will also host a series of programs that are free and open to the public. \nVoices and Votes events in Vicksburg: \n\nNovember 22\, 4pm: Chamber of Commerce Voices and Votes Ribbon Cutting Opening Ceremony with elected officials\nNovember 30: “Ideas on Tap” with Senator Briggs Hopson and Kyle Kirkpatrick\, Assistant Secretary of State\, Russ Latino\, Empower Mississippi\nDecember 3: Sara Dionne\, the Warren County Election Commission chairwoman\, and Jan Daige\, CircuitClerk\, to provide educational opportunities on voting processes\, including bringing in new voting machines and walking through the voting experience\, including registration and voter roll maintenance.\nDecember 10: Fashion Politics Exhibit with local/national fashion designer Raymond Banks\nDecember 20: Donald Field Brown\, Harvard Scholar\, will provide the history of “The Vicksburg Citizens’ Appeal” during critical civil rights years.\nJanuary 4\, 2023: 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 More Perfect Union
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit honors 12 individuals that challenged Mississippi and America to be a more perfect union\, truly expanding liberty and justice for all. These twelve individuals are: Fannie Lou Hamer\, Amzie Moore\, Annie Devine\, Medgar Evers\, Lawrence Guyot\, Ida B. Wells-Barnett\, Clarie Collins Harvey\, Aaron Henry\, John R. Lynch\, Thomas W. Stringer\, Unita Blackwell\, and Vernon Dahmer. The effort and sacrifices made by these patriots not only helped ensure democracy for all Mississippians but all Americans as well. These individuals challenged the status-quo\, urging that the phrase “We the People” should include all people.   \nTheir actions and the reasons why we are considering them “Mississippi Founders” will be explained in a traveling exhibit. We hope to impart on all walks of life that these “founders” represent the best of what patriotism and devotion to one’s country means\, with some of them paying the ultimate sacrifice in the name of equality. They helped change the landscape of our country socially and politically for the betterment of society and we as Mississippians should be eternally proud.    \nAlso\, the MHC has produced interstitials with Mississippi Public Broadcasting that accompany the exhibit. You can find these interstitials on the MHC and MPB YouTube pages. They inlcude guests like Cong. Bennie G. Thompson\, Lt. Gov. Delbert Hoseman\, Ms. Reena Evers\, and Mayor Robin Tannehill give life to the various interstitial scripts uplifting our list of “Mississippi Founders”.  \nMPU is currently at The Quisenberry Library in Clinton MS from now until December 21st \nMPU is also still being hosted by The Oren Dunn City in Tupelo and will be traveling to Delta State January 3rd \n
