SUMMARY:HTA Lecture: “From Austen to Bridgerton: The Enduring Appeal of Regency Romance in Popular Culture”
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Amber Harrison Mabus will present the 2026 Humanities Teacher Award lecture for Holmes Community College titled “From Austen to Bridgerton: The Enduring Appeal of Regency Romance in Popular Culture.” \n250 years after her birth\, Jane Austen’s stories still resonate with modern audiences\, thanks to the ongoing popularity of Regency-era romance in books\, television\, and film. Dr. Amber Mabus will explore how Austen’s novels laid the groundwork for this genre\, shaping the way 21st-century audiences think about love\, social rules\, and class during the Regency period. By connecting Austen’s work to modern adaptations like Netflix’s Bridgerton\, Mabus’s presentation will demonstrate why Austen’s portrayal of romance within strict social boundaries continues to captivate audiences today. \nThe lecture will take place on the Holmes Community College Ridgeland campus on March 3\, 2026\, at 2 p.m.

SUMMARY:Speakers Bureau: "Slavery in Antebellum Mississippi"
DESCRIPTION:Max Grivno presents “Slavery in Antebellum Mississippi” \nBy 1860\, Mississippi’s farms and plantations yielded 1.2 million bales of cotton\, making it the nation’s leading cotton producer. This prosperity rested on the backs of some 436\,631 enslaved blacks\, who constituted 55 percent of the state’s population and who made Mississippi the third-largest slave-holding state\, behind only Virginia and Georgia. This presentation examines the development of slavery from the perspective of the enslaved. Beginning with the “Flush Times” of the 1830s and continuing to the outbreak of the Civil War\, it examines the interstate slave trade\, the working lives of enslaved blacks and the myriad ways in which bondsmen and women struggled against their masters. It traces the paths of runaway slaves\, reconstructs slave uprisings and insurrection scares\, looks at their families and communities and follows the enslaved into the state’s churches. The presentation draws from auto-biographies and interviews with former slaves\, newspapers\, plantation records and government documents.
