SUMMARY:Black Indigenous + Solidarity "We Are the Promised Land"
DESCRIPTION:We extend a heartfelt invitation to join us at Foxfire Ranch on March 30\, 2025\, to honor our Hill Country Ancestors. We invite you to share in stories\, song\, activations\, offerings. We will share an excerpt from our upcoming podcast and feature a panel of Hill Country heirs. We’ll end the day with a special performance by Memphissippi Sounds.  \nIn this space of tribute and remembrance\, we will: \n+ Share and record our stories and memories tied to the North Mississippi Hill Country \n+ Add to a collective map of historical and present day Black stewarded cultural spaces in the region \nIn our panels and conversations we will contemplate: \n+ The history of Black land in the Mississippi Hill Country. \n+The role of Black land as sites for cultural generation and preservation.+ How we honor cultural inheritance and the traditions that flow within our bloodlines. \n+ The vision we hold for these traditions as they blossom in the next century\, and what we choose to nurture or release. \nOur “Hill Country Heirs” panel features Cameron Jones\, Autreniece Folsom\, Stud Ford\, and Annette Hollowell and will be moderated by Rhondalyn Peairs. \nThese local MS Hill Country musicians are not merely artists\, but vessels of ancestral wisdom. As keepers of the flame of our Black folkways\, they remind us that our music is a living connection to all that has birthed and molded us\, including our beloved ancestors. This is a time for deep listening\, for feeling the pulse of the earth beneath our feet\, and for connecting with the spirits of the land. \nFollowing this conversation\, we will enjoy a classic Foxfire Ranch Sunday evening blues show\, free and open to the community thanks to the support of the Mississippi Humanities Council\, the North Mississippi Hills Heritage Area Alliance\, the Open Architecture Collaborative… Tell a friend and bring a friend! \nWe Are The Promised Land Podcast & The Foxfire Ranch Family \nP.S. Tune into our Hill Country Harmonies playlist on youtube to get into the spirit of the day!
