SUMMARY:50th Recollection of Gibbs-Green: MLK Convocation
DESCRIPTION:In the spring of 1970\, college and university students across the country protested against the Vietnam War\, racism\, gender oppression\, and a host of other issues\, at times leading to violent and deadly confrontations with police and national guard troops. On May 14th\, 1970\, students at Jackson State College staged a demonstration condemning racial discrimination in Mississippi and the killing of four students at Kent State University by the Ohio National Guard on May 4th. The demonstration continued into the night. Shortly after midnight on May 15th\, police\, who claimed they had been shot at\, opened fire on students gathered outside Alexander Hall\, a campus dormitory. When the shooting stopped\, 21-year-old Phillip Gibbs and 17-year-old James Green lay dead. twelve other students were injured. \nThe 50th anniversary commemoration of the shooting on what is now the campus of Jackson State University will include five major programs. The Student Government Association\, Gibbs-Green Commission\, and Gibbs-Green  Oral History Project developed the programs which will coordinate with Kent State University to link the events on both campuses. \nJanuary 17 Event: \nThe first event is the Martin Luther King\, Jr. birthday convocation and For My People awards ceremony scheduled Friday\, January 17th in the Rose McCoy auditorium and JSU Student Center Ballroom\, respectively\, where Phillip Gibbs and James Green will be remembered and honored.

SUMMARY:SB: The Mississippi Plan and the Rise of Jim Crow
DESCRIPTION:After the Civil War\, African Americans in the South\, newly freed\, expressed a tangible optimism that led to the reuniting of families\, the development of social institutions like the black church\, the rise of cultural expressions like the Blues and jazz\, the establishment of black-owned businesses and other economic endeavors\, and the wielding of significant political power. On the other hand\, as Dr. Luckett explains in this talk\, most white southerners\, especially in Mississippi\, saw this rise of black social\, economic and political power as a direct threat to their hegemony\, which had been so well established during the era of slavery\, and whites sought to “redeem” their place in the southern hierarchy through violent extra-legal measures like lynching and through the realm of law. The invention of Jim Crow and what became known as the “Mississippi Plan” became the models for the rest of the South. The Mississippi Plan and Jim Crow stood on the shoulders of black disfranchisement\, segregation and sharecropping to guarantee white power as well as second-class citizenship for African Americans throughout the South\, a status black southerners have fought ever since. \nSpeakers Expertise:\nAs a Civil Rights historian\, Dr. Luckett’s expertise is on the modern Civil Rights Movement and the African-American experience. As director of the Margaret Walker Center at Jackson State University\, Dr. Luckett has become an expert on Walker’s life and her experiences\, especially as they related to the Black Arts Movement of the 20th century. \n  \n*Presentation will take place in the Pope Banquet Room of the Hogarth Building

SUMMARY:SB: Black Women and the Suffrage Movement in Mississippi\, 1863-1965
DESCRIPTION:Black women in Mississippi actively participated in the suffrage movement after the Civil War. They fought actively for women’s suffrage even as they supported Black men and passage of the 15th Amendment. With passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920\, Black women could not claim victory. It would take another 40  years before they could exercise the right to vote. White supremacy robbed Black women of the right to vote. White women\, who should have been allies in the fight for women’s suffrage\, turned their backs on Black women. Black women\, then\, fought both racism and sexism in the struggle for the right to vote. They created a vibrant\, active political culture that began during the Civil War. They attended political rallies\, campaigned and raised money for candidates\, monitored polling places\, and counted ballots. They participated actively in political clubs\, first in Loyal Leagues and later in Republican Clubs. Black women built a vibrant political culture in the church\, secret societies\, clubs\, and even their independent enterprises. They did so despite being shunned by White women suffragists; subjected to extralegal racial sexual violence and economic repression by Whites; and  undermined by the sexism of Black men. This presentation provides an overview of the 100-year-fight by Black women in Mississippi to maintain their place in public political discourse\, from the Civil War to passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. \nSpeakers Expertise:\nA scholar of black women’s history\, Dr. Garrett-Scott teaches courses at the University of Mississippi in the Departments of History and African American Studies. She is a specialist in the history of gender\, race and the political economy in the United States with a particular emphasis on black women in business in the early twentieth-century South. In addition to teaching a course about Mississippi daughter Oprah Winfrey\, she teaches a course on Black Mississippi History. She published an article in an international business history journal on Minnie Cox of Indianola\, who\, after being the target of extralegal violence during the Indianola Affair (1902-1903)\, co-founded one of the earliest black-owned banks in Mississippi and the first black-owned insurance company in the country to offer whole life insurance\, the Mississippi Life Insurance Company. \n*Presentation will take place in the Nissan Auditorium in Perkinson Hall
