The exhibit will be on display in the Tubb-May Library on EMCC’s Scooba campus and is open to the public Mondays to Thursdays 10am-7pm\, Fridays 10am-2pm\, and Sundays 3pm-6pm. \nCrossroads is a traveling exhibit offered by the Museum on Main Street division of the Smithsonian Institution. It consists of six free-standing display units incorporating photographs\, text\, and numerous interactive elements. Requiring a minimum of 750 sq. ft.\, the exhibit is designed for smaller venues to achieve Museum on Main Street’s goal of bringing the Smithsonian to small town America.

The Mississippi tour of Crossroads is sponsored by a generous grant from Entergy Mississippi. \nCrossroads: Change in Rural America offers small towns a chance to look at their own paths to highlight the changes that affected their fortunes over the past century. The exhibition will prompt discussions about what happened when America’s rural population became a minority of the country’s population and the ripple effects that occurred. \nIn addition to hosting the exhibition\, East Mississippi Community College will also host a series of programs that are free and open to the public. \nCrossroads events in Scooba:\nFebruary 15\, 6pm: “From Snapshots to a Collage: Exploring Rural Mississippi Through Population Studies” presentation\, Dr. John Green\nFebruary 20\, 6pm: “Rural Economic Development” presentation\, Dr. Rachael Carter\nMarch 15\, 4pm: “From the Fields to the Factory: The Great Migration of African Americans From the Fields of Mississippi to the Cities and Factories in the North” presentation\, Dr. Brinda Willis

SUMMARY:Crossroads @ Scooba: Exploring Rural Mississippi Through Population Studies
DESCRIPTION:On February 15\, East Mississippi Community College in Scooba will host Dr. John Green\, state scholar for the Crossroads exhibit\, to present his free program\, “From Snapshots to a Collage: Exploring Rural Mississippi through Population Studies.” The program will take place in conjunction with the Smithsonian traveling exhibit Crossroads: Change in Rural America\, on display in Scooba through March 12. \nMany popular images of rural people and places present them as homogeneous in terms of demographic\, social\, and economic characteristics and trends. This may lead to oversimplification of rural areas and limited efforts to meet the needs and priorities of people living in these places. Achieving a better understanding of rural communities requires defining our concepts and identifying indicators of rural life in terms of continuity and change. Following an exploration of the terms “rural” and “non-metropolitan\,” Dr. Green will share a series of graphical images and narratives about Mississippi’s rural people and places using population-level information\, emphasizing what these “snapshots” of rural life tell us about Mississippi and how we might use them to form a “collage” that captures both the similarity and diversity. \nCrossroads: Change in Rural America offers small towns a chance to look at their own paths to highlight the changes that affected their fortunes over the past century. The exhibition will prompt discussions about what happened when America’s rural population became a minority of the country’s population and the ripple effects that occurred. \nThe exhibit will be on display in the Tubb-May Memorial Library on EMCC’s Scooba campus and is open to the public Mondays to Thursdays 10am-7pm\, Fridays 10am-2pm\, and Sundays 3pm-6pm. Crossroads is free to visit. \nUpcoming Crossroads events in Scooba:\nFebruary 20\, 6pm: “Rural Economic Development” presentation\, Dr. Rachael Carter\nMarch 15\, 4pm: “From the Fields to the Factory: The Great Migration of African Americans From the Fields of Mississippi to the Cities and Factories in the North” presentation\, Dr. Brinda Willis

SUMMARY:MS+MA 3: Coast to Coast
DESCRIPTION:On February 18\, the third “MS + MA: Crossing Borders/Connecting Stories” dialogue will take place in partnership with Mass Humanities. \nMS+MA: Coast to Coast will explore our two state’s coastal connections from the perspectives of cultural institutions and local individuals from the fishing industry in both states. Panelists will reflect on how coastal areas are both literal and metaphorical connecting points for culture\, language\, economies\, art\, and more. The program will also share firsthand stories of members from local fishing communities in both states. MS + MA attendees will have the opportunity to take part in small group discussions about their own connections to the ocean and how our states’ coastal areas help us understand the environment around us.\n\nSpeakers will include Julian Rankin\, executive director of the Walter Anderson Museum of Art in Ocean Springs\, MS\, and individuals from fishing communities in both states. The program will be moderated by Laura Orleans\, executive director of the New Bedford Fishing Heritage Center in New Bedford\, MA.\n\nFollowing the February 18 program\, three additional programs will take place throughout Spring 2021.\n\nRegistration is required for the program and can be found here.
