SUMMARY:M.W. Stringer Grand Lodge Freedom Trail Marker
DESCRIPTION:– On June 4\, the historic M.W. Stringer Grand Lodge will be added to the Mississippi Freedom Trail. Visit Jackson\, Visit Mississippi\, and the Mississippi Humanities Council are organizing the unveiling ceremony that will be a part of the M.W. Stringer Grand Lodge Homecoming activities that day. The historic site served as a sanctuary for Masons of Jackson and the Jackson Civil Rights Movement. At one time\, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC)\, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)\, and other civil rights organizations of Mississippi had their central offices within the Stringer Lodge. \nThe Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party organized and chose delegates during a conference at the Lodge to represent the party at the 1964 Democratic Convention. Those delegates later became catalysts for the expansion of voting rights to all Americans. The Lodge also served as Medgar W. Evers’ second Jackson office working as the field secretary for the Mississippi State Conference of the NAACP. The current Mississippi State Conference of the NAACP\, led by Charles Taylor\, is still housed in the M.W. Stringer Grand Lodge. \nJoin us on June 4 at 10:00 A.M. for the unveiling of the marker outside in the Lodge’s parking lot. The ceremony is open to the public.

SUMMARY:In the Bones Movie Premiere
DESCRIPTION:The Mississippi Humanities Council and The Southern Poverty Law Center are co-sponsoring the Jackson premiere screening of the Mississippi-based documentary\, IN THE BONES\, directed by Kelly Duane de la Vega and produced by Jessica Anthony.  The Screening is at the Capri Theatre June 15th at 6:30pm. \nHaving previously screened at the New Orleans\, Atlanta\, Nashville\, San Francisco DOCFEST (where it won the audience award)\, and Oxford Film Festivals\, as well as internationally in Berlin\, Sydney\, Tokyo and Dubai\, IN THE BONES will have its Jackson premiere on Thursday\, June 15th\, at 6:30 p.m. at the historic Capri Theatre in Fondren\, followed by a panel discussion with director Kelly Duane de la Vega\, producer Jessica Anthony and local community leaders. \nIn the Bones is a lyrical documentary that explores the personal and political by interweaving the lives of 12 characters living in Mississippi during a legislative session in which equal pay for equal work and abortion rights are being decided. Although set in three distinct regions of Mississippi\, In the Bones is a much broader exploration of our culture\, an unsettling portrayal of America that lingers\, shining a light on the weight women live under in this country and also the resilience expressed in everyday acts of survival.

SUMMARY:Juneteenth Celebration/Project Kickoff
DESCRIPTION:A Juneteenth Celebration will be held at Valena C. Jones School on June 17\, 2023\, to announce the kickoff of an Oral History Project. The project is to begin collecting contact information for former teachers and students who are interested in participating in interviews. Juneteenth celebrates the independence of Black Americans\, and the celebration is planned to entertain\, educate and empower the Bay St. Louis community and surrounding area. \nHearing their stories is a powerful recognition of the struggle for civil rights\, the barriers to education faces and the successful lives and careers of so many graduates of this school.
