SUMMARY:"Voices and Votes" Exhibit in Hattiesburg
DESCRIPTION:The Library of Hattiesburg\, Petal\, and Forrest County will host Voices and Votes: Democracy in America\, a Smithsonian traveling exhibition\, from March 28 through May 14. The exhibit is open to the public Monday-Thursday 9:00 am-5:30 pm\, and Friday-Saturday 9:00 am-3:00 pm. \nVoices and Votes 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 650 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 exhibit is free and open to the public to visit. \nVoices and Votes: Democracy in America traces the bold American experiment of a government run by and for the people. The exhibit examines the influences that shaped the early days of American democracy and the changes that have occurred in the nearly 250 years since. \nDemocracy is a form of government that requires civic engagement and participation. It is formed by citizens’ responses to ongoing questions: What are the rights and responsibilities of citizens? What is the role of the government in American life? How do citizens participate in democracy? Beginning with the American Revolution\, this exhibition explores these questions and more. \nIn addition to hosting the exhibit\, the library will also host a series of programs that are free and open to the public. \nVoices and Votes events in Hattiesburg:\nMarch 28\, 5:30 pm: Opening reception and presentation from Hattiesburg mayor Toby Barker\, “All Politics is Local – Campaigning South Mississippi Style”\nMarch 31\, 2pm: Thursday Theater\, Lincoln\nApril 11\, 6pm: Presentation from Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson\, “Mississippi’s Initiative Process: What it was\, what it is\, what it can be”\nApril 14\, 2pm: Thursday Theater\, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington\nApril 22\, 6pm: Presentation from Hattiesburg attorney Michael Adelman\, “An Equal Opportunity to Participate: The Change in Hattiesburg Municipal Government\, 1984”\nApril 28\, 2pm: Thursday Theater\, All the King’s Men\nMay 2\, 6pm: Presentation from Voices and Votes state scholar Dr. Rebecca Tuuri\, “Democracy in Mississippi: Race\, Violence and Power in the Struggle for the Vote”

SUMMARY:A Movement in Every Direction: Legacies of the Great Migration

Co-organized with the Baltimore Museum of Art\, the exhibition features newly commissioned works by 12 acclaimed Black artists across a variety of media. The Great Migration (1915-1970) saw more than six million Black Americans leave the South for cities across the United States.

SUMMARY:Ideas on Tap: Women's Equitable Access to Healthcare in Mississippi
DESCRIPTION:Mississippi ranks last in almost every leading health category in the US. Hospitals across rural parts of the state are in jeopardy of being shut down. This is especially challenging in a state with the highest infant mortality rate in the US\, where the leading cause of infant mortality is preterm birth (delivery before 37 weeks of pregnancy). Also\, heart disease plagues this state and women of color are disproportionately affected. Heart disease is more prevalent among African American women than white women and is the leading cause of death among Latinas. So how do women gain equitable access to health care in a state that suffers these disparities? These issues and many more will be discussed by our illustrious panel of medical professionals which include Dr. Sandra Melvin (CEO of Institute for the Advancement of Minority Health)\, Dr. Nekitra Burse (CEO of Six Dimensions\, LLC)\, and Wengora Thompson (CVS Health\, Health Equity Lead). The panel will be moderated by Latisha Latiker\, director of grant programming for the Mississippi Women’s Foundation. Join us May 17th at the Rick House by Manship located at 717 Poplar Blvd\, Jackson\, MS. This Ideas On Tap program is brought to you in proud partnership with the Women’s Foundation of Mississippi. Free snacks and a Cash bar will be provided

SUMMARY:SB - Rushing - Over and Under the Fence: Plant Swapping Helped Form Our Culture
DESCRIPTION:Fences don’t deter gardeners who have for generations found ways over\, around and under barriers (both real and figurative) to share plants\, tips and recipes — really\, bits of ourselves and our cultures\, without regard to another gardener’s stripes or background. Since a gardener can’t give or get plants without touching another person\, our garden legacies have proven to be real common ground. Now\, how about a piece of my grandma’s old rose for your fence…
