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.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:HTA: Mississippi's Monumental Men: Jefferson Davis and J.Z. George
DESCRIPTION:Humanities Teacher Award winner Jay Wilson (Holmes Community College) will present his public lecture\, “Mississippi’s Monumental Men: Jefferson Davis and J.Z. George.” Reception to follow \n\n\n \n\n\nFor the last several years there has been much discussion of many of the public monuments raised early in the last century.  A common refrain from the defenders of these monuments and statues has been “Leave them alone\, they are history.” Oddly\, the majority of people that say this seem to have a limited knowledge of the history they claim to be protecting.  With that in mind\, this presentation is aimed at recounting the history of the two men memorialized by Mississippi  in the National Statuary Hall Collection in the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington D.C.; Jefferson Davis and James Z. George.

SUMMARY:Water/Ways @ Columbus: Ebbs and Flows of Mississippi History
DESCRIPTION:On February 19\, the Tenn-Tom Waterway Transportation Museum will host Dr. Jim Giesen of the MHC’s Speakers Bureau to present his free program\, “Ebbs and Flows of Mississippi History.” The free program will take place in conjunction with the Smithsonian traveling exhibit Water/Ways\, on display at the Tenn-Tom Waterway Transportation Museum through March 8. \nThere are few states where water has been more central to its history and culture than Mississippi. From ship-building on the coast to Native American migration along rivers and streams\, from Civil Rights Movement wade-ins to Civil War strategy\, water has played a central role in how and why the Magnolia State looks and operates as it does today. From massive natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina and the 1927 Mississippi River Flood\, to great success stories like the shipbuilding and fishing industries\, to less well-known incidents where water played an important role in the development of small communities and towns\, the talk will tell not just the well-known water histories of the state\, but show how water has become an often overlooked factor in our past\, present\, and future \nWater/Ways is a traveling exhibit offered by the Museum on Main Street division of the Smithsonian Institution. The exhibit explores water’s connection to all aspects of our society\, including the endless motion of the water cycle\, water’s effect on landscape\, settlement and migration\, and its impact on culture and spirituality. \nExhibit hours are Monday-Friday 9am-3pm and Saturday by appointment. School and group visits are welcome but are encouraged to schedule a visit by contacting the library in advance at 662-328-8936. \nFuture Water/Ways events in Columbus:\nFebruary 26\, 5pm: Mississippi Water: Shaped By the Past\, Molding the Future
