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.

SUMMARY:Speakers Bureau: Delta Epiphany: RFK in the Mississippi Delta
DESCRIPTION:In 1967\, while visiting Mississippi as part of the Senate subcommittee on poverty\, Robert Kennedy cradled hungry children\, talked with mothers about how they fed their families and examined empty refrigerators. Although he was only in the Delta for a day\, Kennedy\, the people he encountered\, Mississippi and the nation felt the impact of that journey for much longer. What he found in the Delta both shocked and motivated Kennedy to work for significant changes in the nation’s food aid policy. It was a crucial step toward his decision to run for the presidency a year later. \nDrawing upon archival research and interviews\, Meacham’s presentation outlines Kennedy’s journey through Mississippi and what he saw and heard\, concluding with how Kennedy’s visit affected food aid policy\, what has changed there and what has not changed since his visit. \nPresentation will take place in Patterson Hall Auditorium on the NEMCC campus. \nSpeakers Expertise:\nEllen B. Meacham has worked as a professional journalist since 1991 and earned a master’s degree in southern studies from the University of Mississippi. She has taught in the University’s journalism school for 11 years. Since 2007\, she has been researching a book about Robert Kennedy’s visit to the Delta.

SUMMARY:Jane Austen in the Welty Garden: A Mini Film Series
DESCRIPTION:The Eudora Welty House and Garden\, the Mississippi Region of the Jane Austen Society of North America (JASNA)\, and Crossroads Film Society are partnering to present a third and final mini-film series featuring the cinematic adaptation of Jane Austen’s work or screening strongly linked with Austen or her work. Welt scholars are aware that Austen was one of Welty’s favorite novelists; Welty wrote and commented extensively on Austen’s fiction and the impact she had on Welty’s own writing. \nThere are excellent adaptations and modern films inspired by Austen’s novels that easily support a third and final season: Austen’s last novel\, Persuasion\, is being celebrated by Austen fans everywhere this year as 2018 is the bicentennial anniversary of its publication and there are two excellent film adaptations; the 1995 BBC adaption will be screened. Also selected is Belle\, a 2013 film featuring a mixed race female protagonist who lives with a family connected to characters found in Austen’s novel Mansfield Park\, and Austenland\, a hilarious 2013 parody of contemporary Jane Austen fandom. \nAusten scholar and biographer\, Dr. Carolyn Brown\, will lead and facilitate conversations around various themes before each film.

SUMMARY:Ideas on Tap: The Politics of Sports
DESCRIPTION:On September 18\, join the Mississippi Humanities Council at Hal and Mal’s in Jackson for “Ideas on Tap: The Politics of Sports.” \nIn recent months and years\, the world of sports has increasingly found itself involved in as many conflicts off the field as it has on the field. We’ll examine the idea of protest politics in sports and the history behind it to figure out where athletes fit into our political world. We’ll also tackle current NCAA rules on paying college athletes to play\, their historical precedent\, and what they can teach us about our society. Panelists D’Andra Orey (Professor of Political Science at Jackson State University) and sportswriter Rick Cleveland (Mississippi Today) will share their thoughts. Sportscaster Jon Wiener will moderate. \nYou won’t want to miss this fun (and timely) conversation. As always\, snacks and good conversation are on us\, and drinks are on you.
