SUMMARY:HTA Lecture: “Roles\, Obedience\, and Authority: An Examination of the Stanford Prison Experiment”
DESCRIPTION:Suzanne Gibson will present the 2026 Humanities Teacher Award lecture for Meridian Community College titled “Roles\, Obedience\, and Authority: An Examination of the Stanford Prison Experiment.” \nThis presentation examines the Stanford Prison Experiment to explore how assigned roles can significantly influence human behavior. It explains how individuals may change when placed into specific social roles and how granting even a small amount of power can alter behavior within those roles. The presentation also discusses how authority and obedience can be established by stripping individuals of their identity\, demonstrating how situational forces can outweigh personal morals and values. \nThe lecture will take place on the Meridian Community College campus on February 27\, 2026\, at 9:30 a.m.

SUMMARY:Speakers Bureau: "A Look at Mande (West African) Culture Through Traditional Music"
DESCRIPTION:Jerry Jenkins presents “A Look at Mande (West African) Culture Through Traditional Music” on February 27\, 2026\, at 2:30 p.m. \nThis presentation 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.
