SUMMARY:America250 Mississippi - Voices of Mid-Mississippi: A Community Time Capsule
DESCRIPTION:Be Part of History! Help Us Fill a Time Capsule! Our library is starting a fun new project called “Voices of Mid-Mississippi: A Community Time Capsule!” We want to save our thoughts and memories from today for people to open in the future—50 years from now\, during the America 300 birthday celebration! \nWhat is a Time Capsule? It is a special container that we will fill with notes and small items from people all across our 5-county area. We are putting the capsule at the Mid-Mississippi Regional Library HQ in Kosciusko\, MS. \nWhat will we put inside? We want to collect your handwritten notes! We will ask you questions like: “What does America mean to you in the context of our local history?” or “How has the library shaped your pursuit of knowledge and community connection?” We will also add things like library bookmarks\, photos of our towns\, and a special message from our local leaders. \nWhy is This Important? Your stories show how our area’s history\, from our towns to places like the library\, makes our community special. The library is a place where people of all ages meet\, and your stories are part of Mississippi’s bigger story! \nHow Can You Join In? We will kick off this exciting event on April 20\, 2026\, during National Library Week! From National Library Week until June 30\, 2026\, we will be collecting your notes and items. Everyone in our 5 counties can participate! Our mobile library will even visit nursing homes and other places to make sure everyone can share their voices. \nAfter we gather everything\, we will have a special ceremony Thursday\, July 2\, 2026\, to commemorate the closing of the time capsule. Stay tuned to midmisslib.com/america250 for further details. Come share your voice and help us celebrate our history and the library’s role in our community!

SUMMARY:Speakers Bureau: “The Challenges of the First Fifty Years of Women’s Suffrage”
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Rebecca Tuuri’s presentation examines the first fifty years of the women’s suffrage in Mississippi\, with a focus on the work of the Mississippi League of Women Voters (LWV) from the months before the ratification of the Susan B. Anthony Amendment through the late 1960s when the state’s League was transformed into the progressive and interracial group that it is today. Nationally\, the LWV was the organization that suffrage leader Carrie Chapman Catt founded in 1920 to replace the National American Woman Suffrage Association and to help educate the newly enfranchised woman voters in America. Therefore\, the LWV in Mississippi was arguably the most important women’s voting organization in the state. This talk illuminates the successes and challenges of Mississippi women’s early efforts to empower voting women around the state.
