SUMMARY:Something Better for My Children: Black Education in Slavery and Freedom
DESCRIPTION:As part of our continued effort by Mississippi College to bring lived and scholarly expertise of the African American experience to the campus and the larger metro Jackson community\, we have secured Dr. Crystal Sanders from Emory University as our 2024 African American Studies Lecture Series speaker. She is an associate professor of African American Studies and will share her award-winning research from her book A Chance for Change: Head Start and Mississippi’s Black Freedom Struggle. Her work has earned many important recognitions\, including—but not limited to—the 2017 Critics Choice Award and New Scholar’s Book Award from the American Educational Research Association\, the C. Vann Woodward Prize from the Southern Historical Association\, the Huggins-Quarles Award from the Organization of American Historians\, the Equity Award from the American Historical Association\, and the Willie D. Halsell article prize from the Mississippi Historical Society. Sanders explores how working-class Black women\, in collaboration with the federal government\, created the Child Development Group of MS in 1965\, a Head Start program that not only gave poor Black children access to early childhood education but also provided black women with greater opportunities for political activism during a crucial time in the unfolding of the Civil Rights movement. Sanders traces the stories of 2\,500 women who staffed such preschool centers. \nSanders’s lecture will serve as the keynote for our month-long theme in commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Brown decision\, ‘Something Better for My Children: Black Education in Slavery and Freedom.’

SUMMARY:Behind the Big House 2024
DESCRIPTION:The Rosa Foundation continues the successful and nationally recognized program of Behind the Big House (BTBH)\, an annual public event in Holly Springs\, MS. It will be held on the Craft property at 184 S. Memphis Street over four days\, April 3-6\, 2024. The property includes the 1847 living quarters and kitchen built for enslaved Africans and the 1851 family home of Hugh and Elizabeth Craft. \nIn its twelfth year\, the program highlights the history and culture of enslaved Africans in northern Mississippi through public tours facilitated by experienced historical interpreters. Our experts will address the daily lives and work of enslaved adults and children\, a narrative that has often been overlooked\, within the context of the social\, economic\, and cultural context of northern Mississippi in the mid-19th century. Scholars from the humanities will be onsite to assist with important conversations concerning the era of slavery and emancipation and the influence of this history on contemporary Mississippi. \nOur goal is that visitors to this program will gain further understanding and appreciation for African American history in northern Mississippi\, claim the responsibility to preserve and promote this history and culture\, and based on this shared knowledge\, will work to achieve a more equitable and improved quality of life for current and future generations.
