SUMMARY:Mississippi Freedom Trail Unveiling: Delta State College 1969 Sit-In
DESCRIPTION:Mississippi Freedom Trail Unveiling: Delta State College 1969 Sit-In \nJoin us for the unveiling of a new Mississippi Freedom Trail marker honoring the student activists whose sit‑in at Delta State College in 1969 marked a pivotal moment in the fight for racial equity and inclusion on campus. The ceremony\, cohosted by Visit Mississippi\, the Mississippi Humanities Council\, and the Delta Center for Culture and Learning\, will take place at Kethley Hall on the campus of Delta State University. \nThe marker recognizes the courageous students who\, after presenting ten demands for equity and representation\, peacefully protested outside the President’s Office in Kethley Hall. More than fifty students were arrested during the sit-in and transported to Parchman Penitentiary\, where they continued their stand for justice through unity and song. Their actions helped spark long-term institutional change at Delta State University. \nThe program will include a welcome from Delta State University leadership; remarks from representatives of the Delta Center for Culture and Learning\, Mississippi Department of Transportation\, Visit Mississippi\, the Mississippi Humanities Council\, and community members connected to the 1969 sit-in; reflections on the original protest; and the official marker unveiling. \nWhere: \nDelta State University – Kethley Hall \n1003 W Sunflower Rd \nCleveland MS 38732 \nWhen: \nTuesday\, March 10\, 2026\n11:00 a.m.
