SUMMARY:HTA: Documenting Freedom in Ancient Greece\, and a Bronze Inscription in Oxford\, MS
DESCRIPTION:Humanities Teacher Award winner Dr. Brad L. Cook (University of Mississippi) will present his public lecture\, “Documenting Freedom in Ancient Greece\, and a Bronze Inscription in Oxford\, MS.” \n\n\n \n\n\nFreedom in the ancient Mediterranean could be tenuous. In some parts of the Greek world\, you could find people setting up public declarations of the freeing of slaves. A small bronze inscription\, now at the University Museum in Oxford\, MS\, documents the freeing of a woman named Philista in the early 2nd century BC. Was this her personal\, portable copy\, her ancient “freedom papers”? Dr. Cook’s talk will address that question as he reconstructs the life story of this palm-sized bronze plaque.

SUMMARY:HTA: Violence\, Victory\, and Voice: Millennials and Social Justice in Angie Thomas’ The Hate U Give
DESCRIPTION:Humanities Teacher Award winner Dr. Shanna Louise Smith (Jackson State University) will present her public lecture titled\, “Violence\, Victory\, and Voice: Millennials and Social Justice in Angie Thomas’ The Hate U Give.” Reception to follow \nViolence\, Voice\, & Victory: Millennials and Social Justice in Angie Thomas’ The Hate U Give interrogates how millennials come to voice in ways that challenge social issues that feature\,  impact\, and represent them specifically. When Baby Booming and Gen X figureheads fail to articulate her truth\, and use thug imagery to cast a pall over the image/reputation of her murdered friend\, Khalil\, Starr determines to speak for him – and herself. This presentation maps contemporary expressions of orality as both social justice weaponry and an intersectional positioning that places a black teenage girl as the vocal\, moral center. Starr’s action answers the call of Margaret Walker Alexander\, who demands\, after campus protests leave two young black men dead\, “What is your role as students in this black struggle for freedom?” (“Reflections on May 1970: The Jackson State University Massacre” 181).

SUMMARY:The Struggle Continues: Equity in Education
DESCRIPTION:In 2018\, the Hancock Performing Arts Center received a grant for a series of lectures entitled\, “The Struggle and the Music It Created.” The purpose of th eproject was to address race in Mississippi and to discuss the relevance of the music that defined the movement. The majority of the audience attending was students. After the lectures ended\, Kevin Allemand\, a history teacher\, noticed a shift in conversations where his students were engaged in the civil rights movement and asking questions and making comments. He realized that placing the students in the historical context as they listened to the lectures was transformative. For the 2019 Spring semester\, “The Struggle” conversations will continue by addressing equity in education in a series of three lectures and a poetry reading. \nJANUARY 29: Robbie Luckett from Jackson State University will lecture and discuss “Equity in Education in MS.” He will address the history of education equity for the blacks\, Choctaws\, and Jewish\, Italian immigrants who have struggled to overcome obstacles in their education. In addition\, he will discuss the work of the sovereign commission.

SUMMARY:HTA: When Life Gives You Lemons\, Make Lemon Meringue Pie
DESCRIPTION:Humanities Teacher Award winner Anna Britt Begnaud presents her public lecture\, “When Life Gives You Lemons\, Make Lemon Meringue Pie: Success in Less Than Ideal Circumstances.” Reception to follow. \nStudents worry about grades more than content in courses. When a test\, an essay\, or a major assignment goes wrong\, many students may torpedo themselves in a course—stop turning in work\, drop the course\, or simply stop attending–rather than mastering the content and learning new skills\, both of which would ultimately lead to success in the course. While content and new skills are important\, the struggle to master them is even more important to long term success. Learning to overcome the obstacles is a skill that translates into every future endeavor students will undertake.
