SUMMARY:SB: Over and Under the Fence
DESCRIPTION:At noon on Wednesday\, July 22\, as part of the #HistoryIsLunch series\, Felder Rushing will present “Over and Under the Fence: Historic Passalong Plants as Social Glue.”\nFor centuries\, flowers\, vegetables\, and herbs that survive on little care and are easily propagated have been shared across social lines—both in the open and underground.\n“Those plants conjure historic events and places\,” Rushing said. “The stories of some are more astounding than anything Welty or Faulkner could have imagined.”\nRushing\, a garden journalist with an international reputation\, is this summer quarantined in his beloved Mississippi cottage rather than at his usual summer home in England. His presentation will explore plants and garden habits that mark otherwise diverse Mississippians as part of a unique cultural whole.\n“Plants don’t care how your mama’n’them are\,” Rushing said. “More than anything else—even more than food\, music\, sports\, and religion—plants connect people both in the present and to their past.”\nFelder Rushing\, a retired horticulture professor whose ancestors have been bringing plants into Mississippi since in the 1770s\, has written more than two dozen garden books\, thousands of newspaper columns\, and numerous articles in national magazines. The prolific garden lecturer is the longtime host of Mississippi Public Broadcasting’s weekly Gestalt Gardener program.

SUMMARY:SB: Delta Epiphany: RFK in the Mississippi Delta
DESCRIPTION:In 1967\, while visiting Mississippi as part of the Senate subcommittee on poverty\, Robert Kennedy cradled hungry children\, talked with mothers about how they fed their families and examined empty refrigerators. Although he was only in the Delta for a day\, Kennedy\, the people he encountered\, Mississippi and the nation felt the impact of that journey for much longer. What he found in the Delta both shocked and motivated Kennedy to work for significant changes in the nation’s food aid policy. It was a crucial step toward his decision to run for the presidency a year later. \nDrawing upon archival research and interviews\, Meacham’s presentation outlines Kennedy’s journey through Mississippi and what he saw and heard\, concluding with how Kennedy’s visit affected food aid policy\, what has changed there and what has not changed since his visit.

SUMMARY:HumBox: The MAX (Meridian)
DESCRIPTION:HumBox\, the Mississippi Humanities Council’s newest virtual program\, allows communities to come together for relevant\, humanities-based conversations in the safety of their own homes. HumBox is a digital resource box curated and compiled by the MHC and scholars that combines educational information\, resources\, and the opportunity for community-based discussion. \nOn July 31\, the MAX in Meridian will host the HumBox “A Usable Past: Pandemic History in the United States.” Developed by Dr. Amy Forbes (Millsaps College)\, this HumBox looks at past pandemics like the Spanish Flu and contagious diseases like Polio to understand our historical connection to public health emergencies and what kind of cultural changes we can expect in a post-Covid-19 world. Julian Rankin\, director of the Walter Anderson Museum of Art\, will host a Zoom HumBox presentation on Pandemic History from his office in Ocean Springs. You can join in-person at the MAX or participate from home via Facebook Live. Participants are invited to pose questions and topics of discussion. \nThis program is free and open to the public.
