SUMMARY:Cacao and Chocolate: A Powerful Legacy
DESCRIPTION:COOKING AND CULTURE MEET DURING HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH AT THE W by Robert Scott\nMississippi University for Women will celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with “Cacao and Chocolate: A Powerful Legacy\,” a two-day event centering on Hispanic culture and cuisine. \n\n\n\n“Events like ‘Cacao and Chocolate: A Powerful Legacy’ offer exceptional educational opportunities that go beyond traditional classrooms. For example\, a team of interdisciplinary students has passionately delved into the theme\, showcasing their research skills\, creativity and sense of discovery\,” said Dr. Reyna Vergara\, assistant professor of Spanish and co-director of the event. \nThe interdisciplinary students will showcase what they discovered in their research Thursday\, Sept. 21 from noon-1:30 p.m. in the demonstration kitchen of the Culinary Arts Institute. There also will be a chocolate tasting at the event. \nBooklets featuring stories\, messages and recipes from those involved with the event will be handed out to attendees. \nLater in the day\, from 6-7 p.m.\, the presentation “Transforming Traditional Feminine Spaces in El Eterno femenino\, (in italics) ‘La muñeca menor\,’ and Como agua para chocolate (in italics)” will take place. It will be held in Nissan Auditorium in Parkinson Hall in conjunction with the Fall Forum Series hosted by the Gordy Honors College. \n“Cacao and Chocolate” will conclude with a cultural discussion and question and answer forum Friday\, Sept. 22 from 9:30-10:30 a.m. in the northwest lobby of Fant Memorial Library led by Dr. Cecy Brooks\, assistant professor of psychology and family studies. \n“I believe interdisciplinary events like this foster collaboration between departments and subjects\, like Spanish and biology\, which helps with communication and building a stronger campus community. I also believe that it supports the goals of the liberal arts while helping students see that subjects that seem unrelated can actually be combined to create excellent learning experiences. It is also important to bring minority cultures to the forefront of our campus thoughts. We may even be able to reach a point where Hispanic students will seek out The W\,” said Michael Dodson\, science instructor and co-director of the event. \nThe entirety of “Cacao and Chocolate” is free and open to the public. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe event also allowed for an opportunity to reach outside of campus and partner with a nonprofit\, El Centro. It is a Tupelo-based organization that\, according to its website\, “helps Hispanics and Northeast Mississippi residents integrate into the local community.”\nVisit https://www.elcentrotupelo.org/ for more information. \nIt is the hope of the organizers that partnerships like this one will help expand Hispanic heritage events in the future and perhaps even change them to better fit the goal of inclusion. \n“For the future\, I’d like to explore further whether we should continue to align ourselves with the national Hispanic Heritage Month or adopt what might feel like a more inclusive name that has the potential of better reflecting our community’s identity\,” Vergara said. \nIn addition to the three events\, there will be an accompanying display set up in Fant Memorial Library the entirety of Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15-Oct. 15). It also will feature information about El Centro for anyone who is interested but was unable to attend one of the events. \n“My hope is that we can recruit and serve more of the Hispanic/Latinx community creating an even more diverse campus. I believe diversity brings strength. Since we are working with El Centro\, I hope that we can expand our ability to partner with this organization and possibly use their example in Columbus to help K-12 Hispanic students in the Golden Triangle\,” Dodson said. \n###\nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Mississippi Humanities Council\, through support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views\, findings\, conclusions\, or recommendations expressed in this (publication) (program) (exhibition) (website) do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities or the Mississippi Humanities Council. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The W\nLocated in historic Columbus\, Mississippi\, The W was founded in 1884 as the first state-supported college for women in the United States. Today\, the university is home to 2\,339 students in more than 70 majors and concentrations and has educated men for 40 years. The university is nationally recognized for low student debt\, diversity and social mobility which empowers students to BE BOLD. \nBe Bold. Tower with Blue.

SUMMARY:The Harvest Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:The Harvest Film Screening \nJoin us for the highly anticipated screening of The Harvest\, a captivating film that tells the story of how school integration transformed the town of Leland\, Mississippi. \nDate: August 31\, 2023 \nTime: 5:15 Reception w/hors d’oeuvres served \n 6:00pm Film Screening Begins \nAuthor Douglas Blackmon will participate in a panel discussion after the film. \nLocation: Two Mississippi Museums\, 222 North St #1206\, Jackson\, MS 39201 \nIn The Harvest\, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Douglas A. Blackmon looks back at how school integration transformed his hometown of Leland\, Mississippi. After the 1954 Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional\, little more than token efforts were made to desegregate Southern schools. That changed dramatically on October 29\, 1969\, when the high court ordered that Mississippi schools to fully — and immediately — desegregate. As a result\, a group of children\, including six-year-old Blackmon\, became part of the first class of Black and white children who would attend all 12 grades together in Leland. \nSet against vast historic and demographic changes unfolding across America\, The Harvest follows a coalition of Black and white citizens working to create racially integrated public schools in a cotton town in the middle of the Mississippi Delta\, the most rigidly segregated area in America. It tells the extraordinary story of how that first class became possible\, then traces the lives of Blackmon and his classmates\, teachers and parents from the first day through high school graduation in 1982. It is a riveting portrait of how those children’s lives were transformed and how the town — and America — were changed. But as the film follows the lives of those children into the present\, it is also a portrait of what our society has lost in its failure to finish the work begun a generation ago. \nThe Harvest

SUMMARY:Possum Town Documentary
DESCRIPTION:This project began in the early 1970s in Columbus\, Mississippi. \nThere\, Dr. Berkley Hudson and his childhood friends discovered the life’s work of local “pictureman” Otis Noel (O.N.) Pruitt. They purchased the collection of 142\,000 negatives in 1987 and spent the next 30 years archiving\, researching\, and preserving the work. Over those years\, Hudson has discovered the stories behind Pruitt’s photographs\, revealing complex and difficult truths. The collection was transferred in 2005 to the University of North Carolina. \nToday\, in partnership with Curatorial and with support of the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the University of Missouri\, and many private donors Pruitt’s work is now being featured in a nationally-traveling exhibition and a book published by UNC Press with the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. \nThe exhibition and its companion website\, www.thepruittproject.com\, feature images\, film\, period Mississippi music\, spoken word\, and a teaching and learning toolkit for teachers and their students. Exhibitions\, symposia\, book signings\, and other events can be found on the website calendar. \nEach aspect of the Pruitt Project encourages conversations within our own communities as we continue to search for a deeper understanding of culture and history in 21st-century America.

SUMMARY:"It's In the Voices" Documentary Screening
DESCRIPTION:The Mississippi Humanities Council (MHC) is partnering with the Mississippi Film Office and the Mississippi Department of Archives and History to bring free\, high-quality documentary film screenings to public audiences each month for the next year. \nUp next is ” It’s in the Voices\,” by filmmaker Field Humphrey. August 13th at 2:0m \nClint Bagley sits at a table in the Mississippi Department of Archives and History and locates a cassette tape from 1975. On it is the interview\, he conducted with Daisy Greene\, an elderly woman from his hometown of Greenville\, Mississippi. Clint plays the tape and listens to the voice of his long deceased friend. For Clint\, Daisy’s tranquil\, Delta accent carries the same weight it did so many years ago. He ruminates over Daisy’s words as she recalls her experiences as a Black educator in the Mississippi Delta and her story of survival during the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. As Daisy’s story unfolds\, we learn how her words sparked a nationally-recognized oral history program that chronicled disparate voices of the Mississippi Delta’s once progressive bastion. \nThe screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring the filmmaker\, Field Humphrey\, and Clinton Bagley from the film.
