SUMMARY:Banned Book Festival
DESCRIPTION:Millsaps College will host its very first Banned Books Festival on March 25\, 2023. Increasingly\, multitudes of books have been banned from public school libraries for their subject matter—for example\, exploring racial justice and injustice\, documenting investigative reporting and navigating difficult experiences through memoir. In reaction to these rising bans\, the Medgar and Myrlie Evers Institute\, the Mississippi Center for Investigative Reporting\, the Mississippi Humanities Council\, the Millsaps College Truth\, Racial Healing and Transformation Campus Center (TRHT)\, and the ACLU are collaborating to sponsor a festival with authors of banned books sharing their stories. Join authors Angie Thomas\, Julie K. Brown and Rick Bragg\, and other to hear them discuss authorship\, publication and banning. This event will begin at 9:00 a.m. and take place in various locations on the Millsaps campus.

SUMMARY:Ideas on Tap - The Women who Run our State
DESCRIPTION:According to the 2016 Clarion Ledger article\, “The Women who Run our State”\, “Of 172 legislative seats at the state Capitol\, only 25 are filled by women.” Now in 2023\, that number has decreased to 23. The article also states that in 2016\, “Only five of our 19 higher court judges and justices are women”. In 2023\, the number of women in Mississippi’s high courts have decreased to 4. As the number of female college and law school graduates increase nationally\, why hasn’t women’s political representation of in our state grown?  Join us Wednesday March 29th at Cultivation Food Hall as we address that question and others in our next Ideas on Tap conversation: Addressing the gender divide in Mississippi Politics. Among our panel guests will be Rep. Zakiya Summers (District 68) and Sen. Nicole Akins Boyd (District 9). The program is brought to you in partnership with the Mississippi Women’s Foundation and will last from 5:30 to 7pm. The address to cultivation Food Hall is 1200 Eastover Dr #125\, Jackson\, MS 39211. For more information\, please contact program and outreach officer John Spann Jspann@mhc.state.ms.us
