SUMMARY:The Global South and the Black Diaspora--From Mississippi to the Caribbean
DESCRIPTION:A two-day event with keynote presentations by Dr. Jarvis McInnis\, the Cordelia and William Laverack Assistant Professor of English at Duke University. A graduate of Tougaloo College\, Dr. McInnis’s upcoming book\, The Afterlives of the Plantation: Aesthetics\, Labor\, and Diaspora in the Global Black South\, examines black transnational identity through African American and Caribbean culture and literature during the early twentieth century. McInnis’s recognition that black identities overlapped as much as they diverged\, offers a unique insight into this period of history where the consolidation of white power–through imperialist growth and systematic black disempowerment–tend to dominate the historical narrative. \n \nMcInnis offers two lectures\, both free and open to the public: \nWednesday\, March 4th @ 6pm\, at Millsaps College (focused on the book project with an eye toward the meaning of the “Global South” and racial identity \nThursday\, March 5th @ 12PM\, at the 2020 Mississippi Historical Society’s annual meeting in Cleveland\, MS (focused on his archival journey and the process of developing his recently published article\, “A Corporate Plantation Reading Public: Labor\, Literacy\, and Diaspora in the Global South\,”–Which focuses on Cotton Farmer\, an African American newspaper published by black tenant farmers in the Mississippi Delta.)

SUMMARY:Margaret's Grocery: The Oral History of a Southern Vernacular Place
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nLocated north of downtown Vicksburg on old Highway 61\, Margaret’s Grocery is a unique vernacular art environment created by Reverend H.D. Dennis. Margaret Rogers Dennis ran the former country store for years. When she met and married Reverend Dennis in the early 1980s\, he promised her that he would transform her simple store into a place that the world would come to see. Although the site is no longer open as a store\, the Grocery has attracted visitors from around the world to experience Reverend Dennis’ creation. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Voice and Vision: Tunica-Biloxi Living History
DESCRIPTION:These programs are part of the Museum’s Voice and Vision initiative that stages dialogues between the works of Walter Anderson and artifacts from other collections\, along with voices across time and place. Voice and Vision includes four in-gallery installations composed of artworks\, objects\, scholarship\, and documentary fieldwork\, representing a diversity of stories and experiences rooted in the Southern land. \nWalter Anderson’s art and life were the products of wide-ranging and multicultural influences\, encompassing transcendentalism\, folktale\, and indigenous ways of understanding the world. In partnership with the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana\, this interdisciplinary public program connects Anderson’s art to the history and traditions of First Nations Americans who called the Gulf Coast home prior to European arrival. Special guests include John D. Barbry\, Donna M. Pierite and Elisabeth Pierite-Mora\, co-authors of The Tunica-Biloxi Tribe: Its Culture and People\, and leaders of the Language & Cultural Revitalization Program of the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana. Cost: Free to the public.
