SUMMARY:Water/Ways in Ocean Springs
DESCRIPTION:The Ocean Springs Municipal Library will host Water/Ways\, a traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian Institution\, from October 20 through November 30. \nWater/Ways is a traveling exhibit offered by the Museum on Main Street division of the Smithsonian Institution. It consists of five free-standing display units incorporating photographs and text as well as numerous interactives ranging from basic flip charts to state of the art audio and video devices. Requiring a display area of a minimum of 650 sq. ft.\, the exhibit is designed for smaller venues\, thereby achieving the goal of “bringing the Smithsonian to Small Town America.” \nWater/Ways explores the endless motion of the water cycle\, water’s effect on landscape\, settlement and migration\, and its impact on culture and spirituality. It looks at how political and economic planning have long been affected by access to water and control of water resources. Human creativity and resourcefulness provide new ways of protecting water resources and renewing respect for the natural environment.

SUMMARY:"Mississippi Yearning: Beyond Finding Cleveland" Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Mississippi Yearning: Beyond Finding Cleveland is a documentary film that explores the seldom-told history of the early Chinese living in the Delta during the late 1800s to mid-1900s. The film is told through the eyes of a Chinese-American man from California who comes to Mississippi to find answers about his grandfather and great-grandfather\, who are buried at the New Cleveland Cemetery. He learns they owned a grocery store\, like many of the Chinese in the Delta\, and goes on to make amazing discoveries about his family. The film examines 1) how and why the Chinese came to Mississippi; 2) how the Jim Crow laws affected Chinese and black communities; 3) the interaction between the white\, black\, and Chinese communities during this time period; and 4) how discriminatory laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act impacted the Mississippi Chinese and their families.
