SUMMARY:HTA Lecture: Educators Perceive Biliteracy as a Resource for Students in Mississippi
DESCRIPTION:Rosalynn Rutland is Blue Mountain Christian University’s 2025 Humanities Teacher of the Year. Rutland’s lecture\, Educators Perceive Biliteracy as a Resource for Students in Mississippi\, will be presented 2/27/25 at 4:00 pm on the college’s campus in the Paschal Student Union Building. This is a presentation of portions of a qualitative study\, “Listening to the Voices of Educators in the Implementation of the Mississippi Seal of Biliteracy\,” conducted in two Mississippi schools whose educators expressed their perceptions of biliteracy as a resource for students. The participants in this study are educators from one school that has adopted the Mississippi Seal of Biliteracy and one school that has not adopted the seal. Regardless of the adoption of the seal\, all educators perceived English plus another language as a beneficial educational policy. \nRutland will be among those honored at the Mississippi Humanities Council Awards Ceremony March 28\, 2025 at the Two Mississippi Museums in Jackson. The event pays tribute to outstanding faculty in traditional humanities fields at each of the state’s institutions of higher learning.

SUMMARY:Speakers Bureau: “A Look at Mande (West African) Culture Through Traditional Music”
DESCRIPTION:This presentation\, by Jerry Jenkins\, will give the listener a glimpse of the Mande Culture of West Africa. In the tradition of the Mande\, the history and culture is orally preserved in the minds and through the music of the Djeli (oral librarian/mandenka hereditary professional musicians). The establishment of the Mali Empire can be recalled and retold in the musical piece of the legendary Densoba (great warrior) Sunjata. This discussion explores the function of the Mande music and musical instruments\, Mande class system\, songs\, ceremonies and stories. The discussion also examines the influence of West Africa on American culture and why the djembe was outlawed during slavery. Participants will learn about the djembe\, its introduction by drummers like Babatunde Olatunji in 1950 and Ladji Camara from Guinea\, and how it spread throughout America.
