SUMMARY:Ideas On Tap: What Does Critical Race Theory Mean in Mississippi?
DESCRIPTION:The national debate over “critical race theory” has come to Mississippi. Join us for an interactive\, civil conversation at the @ecoshedjxn on December 9th at 5:30\, on how we should teach about our state’s history of racism. How do we provide\, as former Governor Phil Bryant recently advocated\, “an education where students can openly and honestly acknowledge the continuing remnants of racism in our society and make sure all children are grounded in the basic principles of civics and democracy needed to address them fully and finally.” Our panelists for this discussion will include Vidhi Bamzai\, Deidre Alexander\, and Chauncey Spears. Kaleigh Skinner of Mississippi Today will moderate this important discussion. This program will be in person and masks are highly suggested.

SUMMARY:“Light in the Piazza” Conversation
DESCRIPTION:At noon Nov. 3 in the Paris-Yates Chapel on the University of Mississippi campus\, Adam Guettel\, Blake McIver and Mary Donnelly Haskell will have a conversation about Elizabeth Spencer’s novella “The Light in the Piazza\,” which was made into a musical. \nIn celebration of Mississippi writer Elizabeth Spencer’s one hundredth birthday\, the University of Mississippi Department of Music is staging a November 2021 production of “The Light in the Piazza\,” a musical based on Spencer’s novella of the same name. In conjunction with this production\, the department is presenting Piazza composer\, lyricist\, and orchestrator Adam Guettel in a residency of public programing that explores Spencer\, her novella\, Guettel’s rationale for and process of creating a musical from Spencer’s work\, and the themes\, characters and concepts revealed in both pieces. \nGuettel is a composer steeped in the opera and musical theatre traditions of America. The grandson of Richard Rodgers (of Rodgers and Hammerstein) and son of writer/composer Mary Rodgers\, Guettel is well-versed in the history of American musical theatre forms. As a Tony Award-winning composer in his own right\, his work is helping move those forms forward. “The Light in the Piazza” was nominated for 11 Tony Awards and won six\, including two for Guettel for original score and orchestration.

SUMMARY:SB - Giesen - Boll Weevil Blues: Cotton and Myth in Mississippi
DESCRIPTION:In the early 20th century the cotton boll weevil\, a nasty little beetle that had already destroyed millions of pounds of cotton in Texas and Louisiana\, stood on the western banks of the Mississippi River poised to invade the richest and most important cotton land in the world: the Yazoo-Mississippi Delta. In the months and years that followed the weevil made a major\, but surprising\, impact on the people of the state. Many Mississippians now think of it as a terrible natural disaster\, akin to Hurricane Katrina or the BP Oil Spill. Yet history reveals a much more surprising story. The boll weevil destroyed tons of cotton across the state\, but its biggest effect on Mississippi came not from barren fields\, but from how people responded to the threat of its invasion. Stories about the boll weevil\, in other words\, were more important to its history than the stands of cotton it destroyed. Dr. Giesen’s presentation uses blues and country songs\, old family stories\, rumors and more traditional historical records\, to explain how an array of Mississippians — from sharecroppers to planters to college professors — changed the course of the state’s history as they tried to manage the boll weevil’s invasion.

SUMMARY:SB - Mitchell - A New History of Mississippi
DESCRIPTION:The talk\, accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation\, will present the case for a new understanding of Mississippi’s past. The speaker will argue that the Eurocentric past account ignored the role of blacks\, Indians\, women and minorities\, providing example biographies to prove the case. Touching on neglected topics such as the history of the ecology\, the speaker will demonstrate the dire condition created by the near destruction of the environment and illustrate how the New Deal programs and a few individuals began to restore the state and develop its system of state parks. Touching on the Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi\, the speaker will argue that segregation was a complex\, local system open to negotiation for much of its history and that local Mississippians did most of the work to end segregation rather than the more heralded outsiders\, who have received much of the credit in the past. The speaker will trace the evolution of religion including what some historians term the civic religion of the lost cause. Concluding the lecture\, the speaker will make the case for Mississippians adopting a new perspective on their past.

SUMMARY:Civil War: Who Do We Think We Are? - Screening and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:On October 6\, the MHC will partner with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to host a screening and panel discussion of the documentary film Civil War (or Who Do We Think We Are?) at the Two Mississippi Museums in Jackson. The film\, created and produced by Rachel Boynton\, addresses Civil War memory and how the Reconstruction period is portrayed in education. \nIn making the film\, Boynton interviewed educators\, community leaders\, politicians\, and students across the South. Among those Boynton interviewed were Missy Jones of Mississippi College\, Atwayn Patrick of the Holmes County Consolidated School District\, and Dr. Stephanie Rolph of Millsaps College. All three Mississippians share their approaches in educating their students and general public on the Civil War through historical facts. They also discuss the struggle as educators to correct the Lost Cause narrative in a place like Mississippi. \nThe film is timely and aids in the current conversation about how and what we should remember of the Civil War. Boynton asks the viewer to question what they think they know of the Civil War and challenges them to re-educate themselves\, hopefully with more diverse resources. \nThe panel discussion to follow the screening will include Boynton\, Jones\, Patrick\, and Rolph. Long-time educator and administrator within the state department of education\, Chauncey Spears\, will also be included. The goal of the panel discussion is to not only discuss themes from the film\, but also to understand the current climate on Civil War and Reconstruction education within Mississippi schools. \nThe program will be held in the Neilson Auditorium within the Two Mississippi Museums and will begin with the film screening at 5:30 p.m. followed by the panel discussion. Food and beverage will be served. Due COVID-19\, masks will be enforced at this event.

SUMMARY:Ideas On Tap: Rural Education in Mississippi
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Facebook Live as we present Ideas On Tap: Rural Education in Mississippi\, a virtual panel discussion on October 5 at 5:30pm. This program was inspired by the recent New York Times article “The Tragedy of America’s Rural Schools”\, written by Casey Parks. The article addresses various issues taking place among America’s rural school systems\, with the Mississippi state takeover of the Holmes County Consolidated School District as its linchpin. \nThis program’s focus will follow suit\, addressing various issues of rural education systems across Mississippi with a focus on the Holmes county situation. Discussions will examine how the take over happened\, steps being taken to correct lingering problems\, and what preventative measures should be considered. \nThe panel will include Sherri Reeves (a long time Holmes county educator and P-16 council member)\, Sanford Johnson (Mississippi executive director of Teach Plus)\, and Rep. Kent McCarty (vice-chair of education for the Mississippi House of Representatives.) Bracey Harris of NBC News will moderate. The October 5 program will last an hour and include a brief Q&A session (10-15 mins) at the end

SUMMARY:SB - Woodrick - The History of Mississippi's Mascots (and a Few Others\, Too)
DESCRIPTION:Marino Casem\, the longtime coach at Alcorn State University and Southern University\, once famously stated that “in the South\, college football is a religion\, and every Sunday is a holy day.” This is certainly true for teams in the Southeastern Conference and especially true for Mississippi. Each fall\, hundreds of thousands of loyal fans flock to their respective campuses to root for their favorite teams and cheer for their beloved team mascots. If Casem’s quote is true\, these foam-headed cheerleaders might be considered the “saints” of this seemingly odd religion. Most fans\, however\, know little about the origin of their favorite mascots or other symbols of their university\, and many of these symbols have deep roots in history\, especially the Civil War years. During this presentation\, the hidden history of some of the South’s most beloved (or despised) mascots will be revealed\, including Mississippi State’s “Bully\,” the origin of the LSU Tigers and\, of course\, the story behind the Ole Miss Rebels.

SUMMARY:Behind the Big House 2021 (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:These are filming dates\, this listing will be updated with presentation dates when available. \n  \nThe Behind the Big House program in Holly Springs\, Mississippi interprets the lives of enslaved persons through the structures in which they lived and worked. The program began in 2012 after Chelius Carter and Jenifer Eggleston\, antebellum historic property owners\, discovered that one of the structures on their property was a former slave dwelling. To them\, it was clear that the personal lives and experiences of those enslaved in Holly Springs was missing from the larger narratives of the city’s Annual Pilgrimage Tour of Historic Homes and Churches.

SUMMARY:Crossroads @ Waveland: Exploring Rural Mississippi Through Population Studies
DESCRIPTION:On August 11\, the Waveland Ground Zero Hurricane Museum will host Dr. John Green\, state scholar for the Crossroads exhibit\, to present his free program\, “From Snapshots to a Collage: Exploring Rural Mississippi through Population Studies.” The program will take place in conjunction with the Smithsonian traveling exhibit Crossroads: Change in Rural America\, on display in Waveland through August 14. \nMany popular images of rural people and places present them as homogeneous in terms of demographic\, social\, and economic characteristics and trends. This may lead to oversimplification of rural areas and limited efforts to meet the needs and priorities of people living in these places. Achieving a better understanding of rural communities requires defining our concepts and identifying indicators of rural life in terms of continuity and change. Following an exploration of the terms “rural” and “non-metropolitan\,” Dr. Green will share a series of graphical images and narratives about Mississippi’s rural people and places using population-level information\, emphasizing what these “snapshots” of rural life tell us about Mississippi and how we might use them to form a “collage” that captures both the similarity and diversity. \nCrossroads: Change in Rural America offers small towns a chance to look at their own paths to highlight the changes that affected their fortunes over the past century. The exhibition will prompt discussions about what happened when America’s rural population became a minority of the country’s population and the ripple effects that occurred. \nThe exhibit will be on display at Waveland’s Ground Zero Hurricane Museum through August 14 and is open to the public Tuesdays-Saturdays 10am-3pm. Crossroads is free to visit.
