SUMMARY:50th Recollection of Gibbs-Green: Doris Derby Exhibit
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. \nApril 3rd: \nA photography exhibit about the shooting included with the Creative Arts and Scholarly Engagement Festival. The opening reception will be held in Ayer Hall. Dr. Doris Derby\, retired Georgia State University professor of Anthropology and Civil Rights documentary photographer\, will speak about the history of the Civil Rights movement\, contextualizing the Jackson State shooting both within Civil Rights activism and the wave of protests occurring on college campuses around the country. \nThe exhibit itself\, which will be on display through June 2020\, had two components. The first is Derby’s photographs. Derby was working for Margaret Walker at the Jackson State College Institute for the Study of History\, Life\, and Culture of Black People at the time of the shootings in 1970 and photographed the event. The photos include never-before-exhibited imaged from the immediate aftermath of the shootings on campus and images from James Green’s funeral. These photos will be paired with images from the Phillip Gibbs and James Green Memorial collection in the JSU archives.

SUMMARY:Voice and Vision: Fire and Water
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 sought harmony between humanity and the environment\, in part as a response to what he observed as the destruction that accompanied modern society. In partnership with the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve\, this interdisciplinary public program connects Anderson’s life and art to current Gulf Coast conservation efforts. Special guests include Jack E. Davis\, professor of history and the Rothman Family Chair in the Humanities at the University of Florida\, where he specializes in environmental history and sustainability studies. In 2018\, his book The Gulf: The Making of an American Sea won the Pulitzer Prize in history. Cost: Free to the public.
