SUMMARY:Water/Ways @ LMRF: Ebbs and Flows in Mississippi History
DESCRIPTION:On September 8\, the Lower Mississippi River Foundation will host Dr. James Giesen of the MHC’s Speakers Bureau to present his free and open to the public lecture “Water Ways: Ebbs & Flows of Mississippi History” at the Quapaw Canoe Company in Clarskdale. The program will take place in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institution’s traveling exhibit Water/Ways\, which the Lower Mississippi River Foundation will host from August 31 through October 13. \nThere are few states where water has been more central to its history and culture than Mississippi. From ship-building on the coast to Native American migration along rivers and streams\, from Civil Rights Movement wade-ins to Civil War strategy\, water has played a central role in how and why the Magnolia State looks and operates as it does today. Giesen will tell three interrelated histories of water in Mississippi to make the case that Mississippians today often overlook both the breadth and variety of ways that water has affected the history of their state. From massive natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina and the 1927 Mississippi River Flood\, to great success stories like the shipbuilding and fishing industries\, to less well-known incidents where water played an important role in the development of small communities and towns\, the talk will tell not just the well-known water histories of the state\, but show how water has become an often overlooked factor in our past\, present\, and future. \nFuture Water/Ways Events @ LMRF*\nSeptember 8\, 2pm (HELENA): “The Mississippi Flood of 1927”\nSeptember 14-15 (HELENA): “Plein Air Paint Out” art competition and classes\nSeptember 15\, 9am (HELENA): Kayak test drive\nSeptember 15\, 12pm: “Flood Control on the Big River” panel discussion\nSeptember 22: Smithsonian Museum Day\nSeptember 22 (HELENA): Great Arkansas Clean Up\nSeptember 22\, 4pm: “Relay of Voices” dance and storytelling performance\nSeptember 23\, 3pm (HELENA): Autumn kayak tour\nSeptember 27\, 5pm (HELENA): Youth art exhibit and sale\nSeptember 29\, 12pm: Youth art exhibit and sale\nOctober 6\, 12pm: “Swimming and Civil Rights” panel discussion\nOctober 6-7: Sunflower River Paddle Day\nOctober 7\, 12pm: “Mississippi River Blues”\nOctober 7\, 3pm (HELENA) Horner Neck kayak tour\nOctober 13\, 9am: River Clean-Up\nOctober 13 (HELENA): Steamboat presentation and kids’ craft time \n*Most Water/Ways events take place in Clarksdale.
