SUMMARY:We Are the Promised Land
DESCRIPTION:We Are the Promised Land is an altar to Black land legacies in the Mississippi Hill Country that centers the Hollowells and Foxfire Ranch in Waterford\, Mississippi. With all the Black land loss stories in Mississippi\, “We Are the Promised Land\,” explores how the Hollowell family has kept their land for over a century\, and the sacrifices\, risks and cultural mechanisms that made it possible. Through a podcast\, poetry\, photography and video we offer kaleidoscopic views of the region to engage a conversation about inheritance – What echoes of our ancestors suggest that we are their afterlife? How do we create the afterlife they deserve? \nOur online “virtual altar” will serve as a repository for the podcast\, poetry and other written pieces\, artwork\, video and photography. The podcast and poetry are centered in and derived from oral history and interviews. The physical altar will be filmed and photographed and the photos and video of the altar will serve as an interface through which the other media is presented. \n7/1- 11/1 virtual altar creation\n8/1/24 – 8/31/24 In-person Podcast Screening/Listening Party in Mississippi at Foxfire Ranch

SUMMARY:Speakers Bureau Lecture: “The Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi”
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Robert C Luckett’s talk traces the roots of the modern civil rights movement to World War II\, a movement that began long before the Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954 and lasted long after Dr. King’s assassination in Memphis in 1968\, a movement that in many ways never ended. Specifically\, Dr. Luckett discusses the major people and events of the modern civil rights movement in Mississippi like Emmett Till; Medgar and Myrlie Evers; Ross Barnett; the Citizens’ Council and the Sovereignty Commission; the Freedom Rides; James Meredith and the 1962 integration of Ole Miss; the 1963 Woolworth’s sit-in; leading civil rights organizations like the Council of Federal Organizations\, the Congress of Racial Equality\, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee\, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference\, and the NAACP; 1964 Freedom Summer; Fannie Lou Hamer; the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party; Anne Moody and Coming of Age in Mississippi; the Meredith March against Fear; and many other topics in the field.
