SUMMARY:Speakers Bureau: "The American Revolution in the Gulf South"
DESCRIPTION:Max Grivno presents: “The American Revolution in the Gulf South” \nThe history of the American Revolution along the Gulf South is seldom told. Although most of the Europeans who called the region were sympathetic to the British — or at least hoped to remain neutral — the conflict soon engulfed the territory of what would\, in time\, become Louisiana\, Mississippi and Florida. This presentation examines how the American Revolution transformed the Gulf South. It tells the story of how the Americans\, British and Spanish vied for control of the Mississippi River and Gulf seaports\, and how the Choctaws and Chickasaws struggled to preserve their homelands by courting the rival powers. It describes James Willing’s disastrous raid on Natchez\, the Choctaw occupation of Natchez and the campaign launched by Spanish Bernardo de Galvez\, who conquered Natchez and Pensacola and drove the British from the region. The lecture also discusses the consequences of the Revolution for the people of the Gulf Coast In the aftermath of the war\, the Spanish and the Americans vied to control Natchez and the territory around present-day Vicksburg\, while native confederacies like the Choctaw and Chickasaw grappled with the rising power of the United States.

DESCRIPTION:Jerry Jenkins presents “A Look at Mande (West African) Culture Through Traditional Music” on January 24\, 2026\, at 11 a.m. \nThis presentation will give the listener a glimpse of the Mande Culture of West Africa. In the tradition of the Mande\, the history and culture is orally preserved in the minds and through the music of the Djeli (oral librarian/mandenka hereditary professional musicians). The establishment of the Mali Empire can be recalled and retold in the musical piece of the legendary Densoba (great warrior) Sunjata. This discussion explores the function of the Mande music and musical instruments\, Mande class system\, songs\, ceremonies and stories. The discussion also examines the influence of West Africa on American culture and why the djembe was outlawed during slavery. Participants will learn about the djembe\, its introduction by drummers like Babatunde Olatunji in 1950 and Ladji Camara from Guinea\, and how it spread throughout America.

SUMMARY:HTA Lecture: “How the School of Pop Culture Unites\, Divides\, and Informs”
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Caleb Smith will present the 2026 Humanities Teacher Award lecture for Jones College titled “How the School of Pop Culture Unites\, Divides\, and Informs.” \n“How the School of Pop Culture Unites\, Divides\, and Informs” is on how popular culture in American society can unite people through shared experiences or divide people through factors like demographic or ideological means. Additionally\, popular culture can educate or miseducate people\, shaping perceptions and skewing opinions. This presentation will highlight a few examples of how popular culture has become so ingrained in society that even international movements have found symbols and motivation through popular culture and how some pieces of this culture have created social mirrors to reflect upon parts of our society. \nThe lecture will take place on the Jones College campus on January 28\, 2026\, at 10 a.m.
