SUMMARY:Speakers Bureau: People\, Not Property: Tracking Your African American Roots
DESCRIPTION:Family history research begins before a researcher arrives at the State Archives\, courthouse or other records repository. A researcher should know the name of the relative\, where they may have lived and when they lived. Frequently\, this information can be obtained from older relatives or family papers. Approximately 70 percent of the researchers using the Mississippi Department of Archives and History are searching for their family history. A growing number of these researchers are African-American. Searching for African-American families involves two distinct research approaches. These approaches correspond to the change in legal status of many African-Americans before and after the Civil War. This presentation is geared to the resources available at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History. \nAnne Webster is a retired archivist at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History.

SUMMARY:Speakers Bureau: Why We Call it Soul Food
DESCRIPTION:“Why We Call It Soul Food” tells the story of why southerners\, especially African American southerners\, call the foods we eat “soul food.” Dr. Willis discusses the emotional and physical aspects of soul food as it relates to our culture and history. She also discusses the bonds attached to the growing\, nurturing and preparation of these foods as it relates to our culture and way of life in the South. \nDr. Willis is a native Mississippian. She grew up on a 200-acre working farm. As a child she had to learn how to cook for 15 brothers and sisters. She holds a bachelor of arts degree in social work with a medical emphasis and a master of education in vocational rehabilitation counseling and psychiatric and orthopedic concentration from Mississippi State University. In 2007 she earned a Ph.D. in theology from the New Foundation Seminary in Terry\, MS. While married to an internationally recognized bluesman she traveled the world exploring and experiencing the culture and foods of numerous other countries\, thereby learning to appreciate her own culture and history as an African American southerner. She discovered she had a great and unique heritage people wanted to know more about\, especially as it relates to soul food in the South from an African American perspective. \nDr. Willis’ expertise on soul food comes from growing up on a working Mississippi farm where she learned to cook for a family of 15 brothers and sisters as a teenager. Her experiences traveling the world with her bluesman husband have given her a unique perspective and knowledge of other cultures\, but more importantly\, a better understanding of her own southern history and culture as it relates to soul food\, which is valued and appreciated by people throughout the world. \nColumbus-Lowndes Public Library- 12:00p.m. \nNo Cost \nSponsored by Columbus-Lowndes Public Library & MS Humanities Council \nFor more information:\nMona Vance-Ali 662-329-5304
