SUMMARY:SB: Archie Who and Why? The Story and Significance of a Mississippi Icon
DESCRIPTION:In the late 1960s and early 1970s\, Mississippi had a serious case of “Archie Fever.” University of Mississippi quarterback and Drew native Archie Manning took the state and much of the country by storm with his legendary exploits on the gridiron and his “all-American” persona off the field. At the Archie Manning Day celebration on February 27\, 1971\, Gov. John Bell Williams congratulated Manning for all of his success and thanked him for bringing the “hero-age” back\, stating\, “I thank him for giving this generation of America back to the young and old.” Lamont Wilson\, the Mississippi postal worker who wrote the lyrics to “The Ballad of Archie Who\,” called the redheaded signal caller “the best thing to happen to our great state of Mississippi in my life.” This talk explores the Archie Manning phenomenon by telling the story of one of Mississippi’s greatest sports legends and by placing his life within the context of 1960s and 1970s Mississippi. To understand why “Archie Fever” gripped the state when it did\, we must understand who Archie Manning was and how his story fit into the broader political\, social and cultural context of his times. \nSpeakers Expertise:\nDr. Charles Westmoreland Jr. teaches history at Delta State University. His expertise is in modern Southern history with an emphasis on the role of religion in public life and politics.

SUMMARY:SB: Kiss Me\, I’m Italian — and Irish\, Chinese\, African\, French — and So Are You: Ethnic Heritage in Mississippi
DESCRIPTION:Mississippians and outsiders alike have traditionally viewed the state’s population as basically two cultures\, black and white\, usually in stark contrast and conflict. However\, recent attention and research have stressed the remarkable number of ethnic populations in the state and their broad and deep influences in our evolving culture. The indigenous population (primarily Choctaw) quickly mingled with the earliest European immigrants\, including English\, Scottish\, Irish\, German\, and Jewish settlers. After the Civil War\, Chinese and Italians were recruited into the Delta to replace slave labor\, and by the end of the century a significant contingent of Syrians (Lebanese) were used in the same way. In the late 19th- mid 20th-centuries\, came waves of Dalmatians\, Cajuns\, and Vietnamese. The state has also seen small but significant influxes of groups from the Philippines and India. Most recently\, a second group of Spanish-speaking peoples\, especially following Katrina\, have settled in the Coast area\, as well as throughout the rest of the state. We see developing patterns of interaction\, influence\, recognition and appreciation\, all creating the unique culture that is the essence of Mississippi. Along the way Carpenter discusses terms such as race\, ethnicity\, nationality and other concepts used to discuss this extraordinary intermingling of peoples in our state. \nSpeakers Expertise:\nDr. Barbara Carpenter is former director of the Mississippi Humanities Council. Much of her career has been spent studying and discussing the importance of literature\, history\, art\, and other insights into our own and other cultures in creating meaningful lives for ourselves and in understanding our roles and relationships within our own communities and society at large.

SUMMARY:SB: The Asylum Hill Cemetery Project
DESCRIPTION:The Mississippi Insane Asylum was established in Jackson in 1855 and operated in this location until 1935. During this period\, a cemetery was maintained on the asylum grounds in which several thousand deceased patients were interred. This site is now occupied by the University of Mississippi Medical Center\, for which mission-critical needs have raised numerous administrative\, ethical\, cultural and practical challenges in the long-term management of these burial sites. This presentation provides an overview of the history of the asylum and describes a proposal to memorialize those buried in the Asylum Hill Cemetery in a manner that also creates a research and education resource. \nSpeakers Expertise:\nDr. Ralph H. Didlake is associate vice chancellor for academic affairs and chief academic officer for the University of Mississippi Medical Center. He is also a professor of surgery and director of UMMC’s Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities. Dr. Didlake’s focus is on the integration of biomedical ethics and professionalism across Mississippi clinical\, educational and research efforts.
