SUMMARY:50th Recollection of Gibbs-Green: Survivors Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nIn the spring of 1970\, college and university students across the country protested against the Vietnam War\, racism\, gender oppression\, and a host of other issues\, at times leading to violent and deadly confrontations with police and national guard troops. On May 14th\, 1970\, students at Jackson State College staged a demonstration condemning racial discrimination in Mississippi and the killing of four students at Kent State University by the Ohio National Guard on May 4th. The demonstration continued into the night. Shortly after midnight on May 15th\, police\, who claimed they had been shot at\, opened fire on students gathered outside Alexander Hall\, a campus dormitory. When the shooting stopped\, 21-year-old Phillip Gibbs and 17-year-old James Green lay dead. twelve other students were injured. \nThe 50th anniversary commemoration of the shooting on what is now the campus of Jackson State University will include five major programs. The Student Government Association\, Gibbs-Green Commission\, and Gibbs-Green  Oral History Project developed the programs which will coordinate with Kent State University to link the events on both campuses. \nFebruary 27th: \nThe second event is a reception to open an exhibit that features displays about the lives of the survivors\, with pictures\, personal papers\, and other items that help tell the story about how the experience shaped them in the years following. Vernon Weakley\, one of the wounded\, and James Lap Baker\, Eddie Jan Car\, Lee Bernard\, Hillman Frazier\, Charles Holmes\, Gailya Porter\, and Quilly Turner\, students who were shot at\, will speak with the audience about the shooting and how it impacted their lives. The exhibit will remain on display through June 2020.

SUMMARY:Modernism\, Poetry and Cinema Celebrity Culture: At the Crossroads of High and Low Art
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Leticia Alonso\, Humanities Teacher Award winner for Jackson State University\, will present her public lecture: \nAt the heart of Modernism was the attraction to cinema celebrity culture. The popularization of film stars such as Charlie Chaplin\, Buster Keaton\, Mary Pickford and Brigitte Helm shaped the cultural imaginary of modernity to such an extent that they influenced the creative activity of writers in the years 1900-1950. This presentation will explore how Modernist poetry challenges traditional categorizations of high and low art forms by drawing on cinema as a genre initially associated with mass culture. Questions centering on stardom and ways of seeing will thus reflect on the intersections of poetry with popular culture\, publicity and performance.

The 48 interviews from 17 faith-based universities found that if faculty engaged in all four of Kolb’s (1984) experiential learning stages\, their commitment to service-learning increased and encouraged their continued participation in future service-learning opportunities benefitting their students.

SUMMARY:"1619" Myths and Memories of Slavery in the United States
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Christian Pinnen\, Humanities Teacher of the Year for Mississippi College\, presents his public lecture: \nThe date “1619” has garnered more attention than in recent memory over the last couple of months. The year the first enslaved Africans arrived on the shores of the Virginia colony engenders a sort of intellectual reckoning with Americas past and the deep roots of slavery in the history of the country\, but it also lays open the fault lines of our public discourse. I want to use this opportunity to talk about the role of the (digital) humanities at large in this debate\, how historians include the story of slavery in the production of American history\, and the difficulties historians encounter to cement the facts that surround the events in 1619. Engaging the public in a debate about the meaning of race and slavery in United States history is vital\, yet controversial even 400 plus years after the first arrival of enslaved people on the Eastern Seaboard.

SUMMARY:Medievalism: The Uses of the Middle Ages in the Modern World
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Courtney Luckhardt\, Humanities Teacher Awardee for the University of Southern Mississippi\, presents her public lecture: \nIn order to make the history of the European Middle Ages relevant\, it’s important for both students and the wider public to understand the way that the history of pre-modern period is used by modern people. Dr. Luckhardt teaches not only on the history of the Middle Ages itself (500-1500 CE)\, but also on “medievalism\,” which is the use of ideas about the Middle Ages to serve contemporary needs. For instance\, ideas about the glory of the Middle Ages have been used by white supremacists to reduce the real and complex history of the period to the supposed “white” origins of civilization. In order to bust myths about the so-called “Dark Ages”\, we must re-examine our ideas about the past in light of cutting-edge scholarship\, which can help us to shake off antiquated ideas that reflect neither pre-modern historical realities\, nor who we are now in the 21st century.

SUMMARY:The History and Phenomena of John Newton's "Amazing Grace!" within American Christianity and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nJohn Robert Hall\, Humanities Teacher Award winner for Holmes Community College\, presents his public lecture: \nIn 1772\, John Newton\, former slave trader turned Anglican priest\, wrote the words to the hymn titled “Amazing Grace!”  Though published in 1779\, “Amazing Grace!” remained a lesser known hymn in Great Britain; however\, in the nineteenth century in the United States\, it grew in popularity\, gained a new verse\, and secured its now recognizable hymn tune.  From the end of the twentieth century into the twenty-first century\, “Amazing Grace!” has become not only a popular song\, both musically and lyrically\, but often produces phenomena beyond the words of John Newton.

SUMMARY:Time Bomb in a River: Ross Barnett\, JFK\, and 2 Million Pounds of Missing Chlorine
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Micah Rueber\, Humanities Teacher Awardee for Mississippi Valley State University\, will present his public lecture: \nRueber will present material he has gathered while working on a manuscript about a river barge that sank in 1961.  While barge sinkings are not uncommon\, this one drew the attention of President Kennedy because it was carrying 1000 tons of pressurized liquid chlorine that\, if released\, would threaten over 40\,000 people in and around Natchez\, MS.  The subsequent clean-up efforts\, which involved a wide range of both state and federal agencies\, reveals how Mississippi governor Ross Barnett\, while taking a very public stance against the federal government in refusing to admit James Meredith to Ole Miss\, showed quite a different character behind the scenes\, as he took great pains to make sure that the federal government spared no effort or expense in removing the dangerous material.
