SUMMARY:A Movement in Every Direction: Legacies of the Great Migration
DESCRIPTION:A Movement in Every Direction: Legacies of the Great Migration explores the profound impact of the Great Migration on the social and cultural life of the United States from historical and personal perspectives. 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. Informed by research\, explorations\, and conversations\, the artists’ works explore themes of perseverance\, self-determination\, and self-reliance\, along with the impacts this historical phenomenon continues to have today.

SUMMARY:Dr. Carl Rollyson Visit - Speech
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Carl Rollyson will speak to the Pontotoc County Historical Society on Monday\, July 18\, at 6:00pm at the Pontotoc Community House on North Main Street. He will discuss the life of William Faulkner and present new materials that he discovered while researching his two-volume biography of Faulkner. He will focus on events that occurred in the North Mississippi area and how they impacted his life and his work. Dr. Rollyson will sign copies of his books after his presentation. \nDuring Dr. Rollyson’s Pontotoc visit\, Jack Elliott\, author of a new biography of W. C. Falkner\, William’s great grandfather\, will conduct a tour of William Faulkner sites in and around the City of Pontotoc. Most residents are unaware of the Faulkner events that took place in this area\, but they are fascinating and significant. Before William was born\, his father\, Murry\, was shot twice in a drugstore in Pontotoc and probably should not have survived. The story behind the shooting is amazing and involves one of the most prominent Pontotoc families of the era. The location of the drugstore is known and is on the Town Square. Also\, the boarding house where Murry lived is still partially extant. At the time\, Murray was serving as the conductor of the railroad founded by his grandfather\, William’s literary great grandfather\, W. C. Falkner. Additionally\, Faulkner’s youngest brother\, Dean\, was killed in an airplane crash in Pontotoc County. Faulkner had given the plane to Dean and agonized over his death. Faulkner visited the crash site\, identified the body\, and later drove Maud\, his mother\, to the funeral parlor (located in the back of a furniture store) in Pontotoc where she insisted on seeing the body. The sites of the crash\, the building where the body was taken\, along with others will be included in the tour. \nDr. Rollyson will visit New Albany on Tuesday and plans to speak and sign books there. On Thursday he will sign books at Square Books during the closing event of the Yoknapatawpha Conference. On Friday he is planning to speak and perhaps sign books at Ripley. During the week\, when he’s not at Pontotoc\, New Albany\, or Ripley\, he will be attending the Yoknapatawpha Conference in Oxford.

SUMMARY:What Does Freedom Mean to You? - Natchez
DESCRIPTION:After celebrating Juneteenth and our nation’s independence this year\, it’s clear that freedom is unique to all of us. Is there any common ground on the meaning of the term? The MHC wants to know\, so we are asking the question\, “what does freedom mean to you?” in a three-part Ideas on Tap series\, we fondly call the “Freedom Tour”. We are taking the program to Natchez\, Columbus\, and Jackson. We have created a panel for each conversation to address what freedom means through various lenses\, like immigration\, African Americans\, LGBTQ\, and women. We encourage our guests to share their perspectives of freedom and how they understand freedom differently. This series of conversations is a part of our More Perfect Union initiative\, which seeks to honor the Mississippians that challenged America and this state to provide freedom and justice for all.  The first stop of the tour will be in Natchez at the Natchez Brewing Company\, July 25th from 5:30-7pm. The second stop will be in Columbus at the Columbus Arts Council\, July 26th from 5:30-7pm. The final stop will be in Jackson at the Cultivation Food Hall\, August 1st at 5:30-7pm. Each program is free to all and hors d’oeuvres will be provided. For more details contact John Spann\, program and outreach officer.
