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. Since 1938\, this tour has been an annual event allowing visitors to tour historic homes\, cemeteries\, churches\, and museums in Holly Springs. To help remedy the exclusion\, Carter and Eggleston\, along with other community persons\, started Behind the Big House. It is run through Preserve Marshall County and Holly Springs\, Inc.\, a local historic preservation institution.  The program’s major components are preservation\, interpretation\, and education.

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.

SUMMARY:Evicted: An Exhibition of the National Building Museum
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \nIn 2018\, the National Building Museum opened an exhibition exploring the causes and impacts of eviction\, based on Matthew Desmond’s award‐winning book Evicted. Since then\, the exhibit has taught thousands about the national eviction crisis. A stable place to call home is one of the best predictors of success. Yet\, each year more than 2.3 million Americans\, mostly low‐income renters\, face eviction. In the context of the COVID‐19 pandemic\, the eviction crisis has further exploded. According to Mississippi Today\, nearly 50% of renters in the state face eviction this year. The traveling version of Evicted offers the opportunity to introduce audiences here to the eviction crisis so that they can learn how it affects their communities. Visitors will build empathy as they learn about housing instability through a local conversation about eviction that has national implications. The exhibition\, which runs June 28 to October 3\, 2021\,  presents sobering statistics and personal stories\, challenging adults and youth to face the enormity of a difficult subject\, while providing context and a call to action.

SUMMARY:SB - Jenkins - A Look at Mande (West African) Culture Through Traditional Music
DESCRIPTION:This presentation by Jerry Jenkins 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.
