SUMMARY:"It's In the Voices" Documentary Screening
DESCRIPTION:The Mississippi Humanities Council (MHC) is partnering with the Mississippi Film Office and the Mississippi Department of Archives and History to bring free\, high-quality documentary film screenings to public audiences each month for the next year. \nUp next is ” It’s in the Voices\,” by filmmaker Field Humphrey. August 13th at 2:0m \nClint Bagley sits at a table in the Mississippi Department of Archives and History and locates a cassette tape from 1975. On it is the interview\, he conducted with Daisy Greene\, an elderly woman from his hometown of Greenville\, Mississippi. Clint plays the tape and listens to the voice of his long deceased friend. For Clint\, Daisy’s tranquil\, Delta accent carries the same weight it did so many years ago. He ruminates over Daisy’s words as she recalls her experiences as a Black educator in the Mississippi Delta and her story of survival during the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. As Daisy’s story unfolds\, we learn how her words sparked a nationally-recognized oral history program that chronicled disparate voices of the Mississippi Delta’s once progressive bastion. \nThe screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring the filmmaker\, Field Humphrey\, and Clinton Bagley from the film.

SUMMARY:Possum Town Documentary
DESCRIPTION:This project began in the early 1970s in Columbus\, Mississippi. \nThere\, Dr. Berkley Hudson and his childhood friends discovered the life’s work of local “pictureman” Otis Noel (O.N.) Pruitt. They purchased the collection of 142\,000 negatives in 1987 and spent the next 30 years archiving\, researching\, and preserving the work. Over those years\, Hudson has discovered the stories behind Pruitt’s photographs\, revealing complex and difficult truths. The collection was transferred in 2005 to the University of North Carolina. \nToday\, in partnership with Curatorial and with support of the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the University of Missouri\, and many private donors Pruitt’s work is now being featured in a nationally-traveling exhibition and a book published by UNC Press with the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. \nThe exhibition and its companion website\, www.thepruittproject.com\, feature images\, film\, period Mississippi music\, spoken word\, and a teaching and learning toolkit for teachers and their students. Exhibitions\, symposia\, book signings\, and other events can be found on the website calendar. \nEach aspect of the Pruitt Project encourages conversations within our own communities as we continue to search for a deeper understanding of culture and history in 21st-century America.

SUMMARY:The Harvest World Premiere Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:The Harvest World Premiere Film Screening \nJoin us for the highly anticipated world premiere of The Harvest\, a captivating film that tells the story of how school integration transformed the town of Leland\, Mississippi. \nDate: August 30\, 2023 \nTime: 5:15 Reception w/hors d’oeuvres served \n 6:00pm Film Screening Begins \n Author Douglas Blackmon will participate in a panel discussion after the film. \nLocation: Delta Research & Ext Center\, Stoneville Road\, Stoneville\, Mississippi\, USA \nIn The Harvest\, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Douglas A. Blackmon looks back at how school integration transformed his hometown of Leland\, Mississippi. After the 1954 Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional\, little more than token efforts were made to desegregate Southern schools. That changed dramatically on October 29\, 1969\, when the high court ordered that Mississippi schools to fully — and immediately — desegregate. As a result\, a group of children\, including six-year-old Blackmon\, became part of the first class of Black and white children who would attend all 12 grades together in Leland. \nSet against vast historic and demographic changes unfolding across America\, The Harvest follows a coalition of Black and white citizens working to create racially integrated public schools in a cotton town in the middle of the Mississippi Delta\, the most rigidly segregated area in America. It tells the extraordinary story of how that first class became possible\, then traces the lives of Blackmon and his classmates\, teachers and parents from the first day through high school graduation in 1982. It is a riveting portrait of how those children’s lives were transformed and how the town — and America — were changed. But as the film follows the lives of those children into the present\, it is also a portrait of what our society has lost in its failure to finish the work begun a generation ago. \nThe Harvest World Premier
