SUMMARY:Grocery Stor(i)es: Life in Chinese Grocery Stores in the MS Delta
DESCRIPTION:Grocery Stores have played an integral role in the establishment and development of the Chinese presence in the Mississippi Delta. While issues of segregation and equality swirled in the communities right outside grocery store doors\, the Chinese families were blending their heritage with their new environment. Building from the photographs and oral histories collected within the Delta State University Archives’ Chinese holdings\, this project proposes to develop a traveling exhibit focusing on the lives lived within grocery stores\, primarily focusing on the subjects of food ways and education. While the majority of our areas grocery stores no longer stand\, this resource will demonstrate how the Delta’s Chinese influenced political and social change all from behind the doors and counters of their grocery stores.

Since its founding in 2012\, the Georgia-based charity has focused on building a museum-quality collection of photographs taken in the American South since World War II. According to their website\, Do Good’s mission is “to make its collection of over 400 images broadly accessible through regional museums\, nonprofit galleries and nontraditional venues\, and to encourage complementary\, community-based programming to accompany each exhibition.” The exhibition\, sponsored by the Department of Art and Design and College of Art and Letters is open during normal gallery hours\, Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. through Nov. 3. \nWilliam Ferris’s lecture\, “The South in Color: A Visual Journey\,” will open the Portraits of Southerners exhibit and will surely interest Southern culture enthusiasts near and far.

SUMMARY:Speakers Bureau: The Importance of Wearing Shoes
DESCRIPTION:With the identification of hookworm disease in early twentieth century Mississippi\, physicians were finally able to identify the characteristic apathy\, potbellies\, laziness\, and general malaise of their numerous patients as indicative of a specific medical condition. Rather than blame the symptoms on socio-economic status\, the medical community in the state now could explain the reasons for and the methods of hookworm disease eradication. The impact of this disease and others on Mississippi’s development is an interesting and relevant study which adds to the understanding of Mississippi’s history and culture. \nDeanne Stephens Nuwer is Associate Professor of History at the University of Southern Mississippi.
