SUMMARY:"Crossroads" Exhibit in Scooba
DESCRIPTION:East Mississippi Community College will host Crossroads: Change in Rural America\, a Smithsonian traveling exhibition\, from February 8 through March 12. The exhibit will be on display in the Tubb-May Library on EMCC’s Scooba campus and is open to the public Mondays to Thursdays 10am-7pm\, Fridays 10am-2pm\, and Sundays 3pm-6pm. \nCrossroads is a traveling exhibit offered by the Museum on Main Street division of the Smithsonian Institution. It consists of six free-standing display units incorporating photographs\, text\, and numerous interactive elements. Requiring a minimum of 750 sq. ft.\, the exhibit is designed for smaller venues to achieve Museum on Main Street’s goal of bringing the Smithsonian to small town America. The exhibit is free and open to the public to visit. The Mississippi tour of Crossroads is sponsored by a generous grant from Entergy Mississippi. \nCrossroads: Change in Rural America offers small towns a chance to look at their own paths to highlight the changes that affected their fortunes over the past century. The exhibition will prompt discussions about what happened when America’s rural population became a minority of the country’s population and the ripple effects that occurred. \nIn addition to hosting the exhibition\, East Mississippi Community College will also host a series of programs that are free and open to the public. \nCrossroads events in Scooba:\nFebruary 15\, 6pm: “From Snapshots to a Collage: Exploring Rural Mississippi Through Population Studies” presentation\, Dr. John Green\nFebruary 20\, 6pm: “Rural Economic Development” presentation\, Dr. Rachael Carter\nMarch 15\, 4pm: “From the Fields to the Factory: The Great Migration of African Americans From the Fields of Mississippi to the Cities and Factories in the North” presentation\, Dr. Brinda Willis
