SUMMARY:For All the World to See: Visual Culture and the Struggle for Civil Rights
DESCRIPTION:The Museum of the Mississippi Delta is hosting the traveling exhibit “For All the World to See: Visual Culture and Struggle for Civil Rights\,” with an opening cocktail reception on Thursday\, April 4. This exhibition examines the role visual culture played in shaping and transforming the struggle for racial equality in America from the late 1940s to the mid-1970s.

SUMMARY:SB: Rethinking Mass Incarceration for a Better Way Forward
DESCRIPTION:This presentation consists of a brief introduction of the current state of incarceration in America and Mississippi. Dr. Pickett will then share with the audience the long history of incarceration in Mississippi beginning with the institution of slavery\, the first jails in Natchez and Jackson\, the black codes and the convict lease system in the late nineteenth century. He will then describe the shift in the state’s history for prison reform to penitentiaries like Parchman at the turn of the twentieth century. Finally\, he will examine incarceration and punishment through the Jim Crow era and the use of lynching\, imprisonment during the Civil Rights movement and the modern day situation of private\, for-profit prisons in Mississippi. He will then provide examples of ways in which we can begin to\, as a society\, rethink the prison space through discussing the creation and founding of the Prison to College Pipeline program. He will demonstrate that providing small investments in education has tremendous results in reducing recidivism\, enhancing re-entry and lowering the violence level of incarcerated spaces. Introducing a humanities-driven curriculum meant to encourage\, inspire and to bring hope and dignity to incarcerated men and women across the state will help this continue. \nSpeakers Expertise:\nDr. Pickett holds a Ph.D. in U.S. history from the University of Mississippi and has taught history courses at the University of Mississippi and Mississippi College\, which included the institution of slavery\, the convict lease system and the modern carceral state. He has also taught courses on the history and literature of the Civil Rights Movement at Parchman Mississippi State Penitentiary and the Central Correctional Facility.

SUMMARY:HTA: Fallen Ministers and Reformed Seductresses...
DESCRIPTION:Humanities Teacher Award winner Dr. Mikki Galliher (Blue Mountain College) will present her public lecture titled\, “Fallen Ministers and Reformed Seductresses in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter and Alice Cary’s Hagar\, A Story of Today.” Reception to follow. \nNathaniel Hawthorne’s classic text has much in common with another novel\, Hagar\, A Story for Today by Hawthorne’s contemporary Alice Cary.  Both novels feature a young woman who is seduced\, impregnated\, and then betrayed by her lover.  However\, while Hawthorne’s novel is a beloved classic studied in high school and college classrooms\, Cary’s work has fallen into obscurity\, unchampioned even by most feminist recovery projects despite Cary’s popularity and influence during her lifetime.  I posit that much of the reason for the disparity in reception lies in the way that Hawthorne’s text elicits empathy for the male seducer\, while Cary does not.

SUMMARY:SB: The Historic Journey of African American Quilters
DESCRIPTION:Diane Williams\, storyteller and fiber artist\, begins her presentation with a discussion of Kente cloth weaved fibers of West Africa and moves on to utilitarian quilts made by African slaves in America who sewed for their owners. She provides a reflective look at how the designs of Underground Railroad quilts relate to storytelling\, and explores the works of Harriet Powers (1837-1910) and three other female fiber artists. Powers was a model for women quilters of the late 19th-early 20th centuries. In her discussion of 20th and 21st century quilting\, she uses the work of Faith Ringgold\, Carolyn L. Mazloomi and Mississippi quilter/fiber artist Gwen Magee. Williams uses her storytelling skills to explore how images — in pictures\, but also in quilts — can guide us to a place of tolerance\, empathy and sensitivity. \nSpeakers Expertise:\nDiane Williams is a neo-griot\, along the lines of the story­tellers from times gone by when oral historians were crucial to maintaining black folks’ history because book publishers didn’t believe the history worth chronicling. Williams is also a quilter\, an artistry befitting for a woman known for paying homage to the past. Williams uses silk yarns\, beads\, stones and vibrant colors to make traditional quilts with Motherland inspiration to tell stories of strength\, resilience and hope.

SUMMARY:HTA: Overlooked No More: Women's History in the Classroom and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Humanities Teacher Award winner Dr. Allison Abra (University of Southern Mississippi) will present her public lecture\, “Overlooked No More: Women’s History in the Classroom and Beyond.” Reception to follow. \nThis lecture will explore strategies for restoring the voices and experiences of “overlooked” women in the history classroom and historical scholarship. It will reflect on how to negotiate a balance between making women a central part of the historical narrative\, and avoiding ghettoizing their experiences as separate and distinctive. In particular\, the lecture will use as a case study the history of the British women who served as secret agents in Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II\, in order to explore the mechanisms by which some women get remembered by history\, while others get forgotten.

SUMMARY:HTA: Flow and Music
DESCRIPTION:Humanities Teacher Award winner Dr. Lindsay Keay (Jones County Junior College) will present her public lecture\, “Flow and Music.” \nThe term flow can be described as a state of heightened concentration and arousal where a balance of skill and challenge cause someone to be so absorbed in a task that everything else seems to disappear. The result of the experience can be one of immense enjoyment and satisfaction. This presentation discusses how musical activities lend themselves well to the flow experience due to the multifaceted tasks of listening\, practicing\, performing\, or teaching music.

SUMMARY:SB: Nursing Care in the 1878 Yellow Fever Epidemic
DESCRIPTION:The 1878 yellow fever epidemic in Mississippi resulted in an expansion of nursing care and the recognition of the importance of nurses in disaster care. Much nursing care was provided by family members\, but those victims who did not have the advantage of home care often received nursing care from others. Many of the nurses were from the Sisters of Charity and Sisters of Mercy\, while others were from the Howard Association. These nurses were vital to the recovery of many who had no one else to care for them as the epidemic caused panic among the citizenry and many fled the disease. Because of the severity of the epidemic\, race relations also underwent dramatic changes as African Americans nursed white Mississippians in a post-Reconstruction period fraught with racial tension and violence. \nSpeakers Expertise:\nDeanne Stephens Nuwer is Associate Professor of History at the University of Southern Mississippi.
