World War II: Mission VICTORY - Fighting the Air War
2013-11-11 08:00 - 17:00 (America/Chicago) | Capps Archives & Museum Building, Main Gallery
The exhibit features selections primarily from the privately held collection of George R. Frisbee. Additional pieces are on loan from Clint Johnson. Mission VICTORY – The War in the Air chronicles America’s involvement in World War II from Pearl Harbor to the last days of war and its lasting affects on the world. Mr. Frisbee has painstakingly recreated a B-17G-70-BO named the “Milk Wagon.” This plane flew with the 708th Bomb Squadron, 447th Bomb Group at Rattlesden Air Base in England and was ready for its first mission on 21 June 1944 to Berlin. Pieces such as this with historic detail provide the basis for the exhibit. Among the photographs of nose art, soldier’s letters and historic documentation on the United State’s war efforts are four fully dressed mannequins wearing original and period specific flight crew suits and uniforms. From the helmets and gloves to the boots, these mannequins provide the opportunity for visitors to see what our soldiers were equipped with to face battles. Also on display is a tribute to Frisbee’s father, who served as a mechanic in World War II. The exhibit will be on display until 24 January 2014. For group or individual tours, please contact the University Archives at 662.846.4781. George Frisbee is available to give guided tours of the exhibit as well.

Delta State University’s School-based Asthma Management (S.A.M.) is sponsoring a 50/50 Bear Bucks Raffle to fill someone’s bare pocket’s” the winner gets 50% of the sales of the raffle tickets!

Projects such as Wheezy Bear Asthma Education Appearances in the schools, Wheezy Bear Asthma Camp – a 5 day summer day-camp, Asthma Academy, held at the United Family Life Center in partnership with Cleveland Park Commission Summer Program and Rescue Me Boot Camps for parents are interactive and fun. All projects are designed to provide information and knowledge to help children manage their asthma at home and at school. This year, the Annual 50/50 Bear Bucks Raffle is in honor of Mrs. Judith N. Winford (Judy). Mrs. Judy was the Asthma Resource Nurse for the S.A.M. Program until her death on December 22, 2013. Mrs. Judy also suffered from asthma which fashioned an even greater passion and desire to help others (especially children) manage and control asthma. The SAM team members wish to thank all that are so generous in helping to raise community awareness of the severity of asthma. Asthma can’t be cured but it can be controlled [more quickly and for longer periods] when children and their families have the necessary information to prevent an episode, “Together, we can keep our children healthy and in school” states Mrs. Winford. Raffle tickets can be bought at the DSU Center for Community and Economic Development, 1417 College St., just ask for S.A.M.

Documentary Film “Standing On My Sisters’ Shoulders”
2014-02-26 18:30 - 20:00 | BPAC, Recital Hall
The award-winning documentary “Standing On My Sisters’ Shoulders” takes on the Civil Rights movement in Mississippi in the 1950’s and 60’s from the point of view of the courageous women who lived it – and emerged as its grassroots leaders. These women stood up and fought for the right to vote and the right to an equal education. They not only brought about change in Mississippi, but they altered the course of American history.
This documentary presents original interviews with many of the Civil Rights movement’s most remarkable women: Unita Blackwell, a sharecropper turned activist, who became Mississippi’s first female black mayor; Mae Bertha Carter, a mother of 13, whose children became the first to integrate the Drew County schools against dangerous opposition; white student activist Joan Trumpauer Mulholland who not only participated in sit-ins but took a stand on integration by attending an all black university; Annie Devine and Victoria Gray Adams, who, along with Fannie Lou Hamer, stepped up and challenged the Democratic Party and President Johnson at the 1964 Convention.
In the name of freedom and equal rights, these women bravely faced great adversity and risked their physical safety, their jobs, and even their lives. When asked how they did it, one activist said, “I was standing on my sisters’ shoulders.”

The 17th Annual Sammy O. Cranford Memorial History Lecture: The Unjust Judge: Roger B. Taney, the Slave Power, and the Meaning of Emancipation
2014-04-03 19:00 - 21:00 | Jobe Auditorium
As emancipation unfolded in the wartime Union, Chief Justice Roger B. Taney’s decision in the Dred Scott case of 1857 always lurked in the background. But soon Taney himself became the issue. More than anyone else, the Chief Justice personified the Slave Power and the hold that it had once had over the national government. Taney’s death in 1864 prompted the publication of articles and pamphlets that vilified the Chief Justice, thus offering a glimpse of how northerners at the time thought about the meaning of emancipation and the Civil War.

Members of the group are Alice Hasen, violinist, and guitarists Walt Busby and Seth Stroud. The Delta Music Institute has worked with the Peer Power and S.I.C.C.

The high school students released an original music video about the Affordable Care Act last fall and are working on another song. The Peer Power scholars have created a music video about the Knowledge Tree in Shelby. “Going to the music camp would allow them more opportunities to explore their musical capabilities and to interact with other young people who share similar interests” said Anne Hart Preus, Education Director for the Delta Innovation Foundation. For more information regarding the Delta Innovation Foundation’s activities or to make a donation to provide the opportunity for students to attend the music camp, visit the web site at www.makethedif.com. “It is through the encouragement and generosity of the local community supporting their young people with unique opportunities like DMI camp that can impact lives in a wonderfully creative and positive way’ said Tricia Walker, DMI Director.

Exhibition: Lurlynn Franklin: Colored Cartoons in Undeniable Blackness
2014-08-21 08:00 - 16:30 | Wright Art Gallery
The Wright Art Center Gallery at Delta State University opens its new season with an exhibition of Lurlynn Franklin’s work entitled Colored Cartoons in Undeniable Blackness. The exhibition opens on Thursday, August 21 with a public reception from 5:00 to 7:00 pm and a reading of the artist’s poetry at 6:00 pm. Lurlynn Franklin is a Memphis artist, poet, playwright and educator whose work combines visual images, poetry and performance to address current issues. As the artist states: “Colored Cartoons in Undeniable Blackness is a collection of story quilts and poetry which are distinctly African-American in content, addressing the thin line drawn between stereotypes and truths. Both the writings and the visuals lend themselves towards social commentary, deliberately falling short in being hardcore political, the work lightly and deceptively skims the surface of personal politics, focusing on the mainstreams of modern “colored” life with humor and sarcasm.” Franklin’s colorful paintings draw on the tradition of African-American story quilts and the collages of noted African-American artists such as Romare Bearden – Franklin in fact refers to her paintings as quilts. In keeping with her inspiration, she incorporates non-traditional materials such as fabric, wall paper and clothing into her paintings. At the same time, her collage technique underlines the message of the images, as Franklin put it: “The quilts, like any funny story told in retrospect at a black family reunion, are exaggerations, coloring life brightly with candy hues, juxtaposed and warmed with sepias and browns, the eclectic materials and pieces of the tale, pulled together in the end, framing the whole of the story.” Like the stories told at family reunions, Franklin considers her work open to reinterpretation and thinks of it as “a work in progress” Like Franklin’s book Fabled Truths, published by Xlibris in late 2013, which combines a series of critical self-portraits with poetic essays, Colored Cartoons in Undeniable Blackness will present her poetry alongside her paintings. For Franklin writing and painting are inextricably linked. She begins each painting by choosing a title and the work evolves from there. As the artist explains, “The creative writings are not narratives of the quilts, but are more like side glances at the colored cartoons they portray, sharpened and lyrical in their language” Franklin holds a MA in art education and a MFA in painting from Memphis College of Art. Her work has been shown nationally, most recently at the Caritas Village Community Collective and Dixon Gallery and Gardens, both in Memphis, TN. She has received numerous awards and recently was recognized by the Tennessee Arts Commission for her work. Colored Cartoons in Undeniable Blackness is on view until September 26. The gallery is open Monday-Thursday from 8 a.m.-8:30 p.m. and on Friday from 8 a.m -4:30 p.m. For more information, please contact the Art Department at 662-846-4720.

This Delta: Photographs by Debra L. Ferguson
2014-08-24 08:00 - 17:00 | Capps Archives & Museum
Photographer Debra L. Ferguson has teamed up with Delta State University Archivist Emily Jones to create “This Delta,” a traveling exhibit of Ferguson’s images of the Mississippi Delta taken over the last 30 years.
The exhibit launches with a special Sunday opening on August 24 at 2 p.m. at the Capps Archives & Museum on Delta State’s campus.
The public is invited to the free event, and Ferguson will be in attendance. “This Delta” features Ferguson’s images with a mixture of words from some of the most notorious and noteworthy writers from the Delta and Mississippi. The exhibit will remain on site for two weeks and is free and open to the public. The Archives & Museum is open Monday – Friday, 8am – 5pm.
A 1974 graduate of Delta State University, Ferguson works as a magazine and advertising photographer, specializing in agricultural and rural lifestyle subjects. She is also a partner with her husband, Owen Taylor, in AgFax Media, an online agricultural news organization. Her photography has appeared in Farm Journal, Progressive Farmer, Southern Living Travel and other publications and advertising campaigns. A prolific stock photographer, her images are represented by agencies in the U.S., Europe and Asia. “
“Emily and I had a lot of fun creating this exhibit from my images,” said Ferguson. “I left the Delta in the early 1970s, but it was always home. Luckily for me, my family and work assignments kept bringing me back often enough to create a body of work. I’m honored and very excited to share these images, many of which have never been seen.”
Jones, who has collaborated with Ferguson on previous work, is honored to see the kickoff take place at Delta State. “This has been a labor of love for the both of us,” said Jones. “We first talked about traveling exhibits when we worked together on another exhibit, “Vanishing Delta.” Ferguson won the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters photography award for “Vanishing Delta” in 2007.
“Ever since then, we have hoped and thought about what an exhibit of her work might look like in a traveling format. Finally, we did it,” added Jones. “This Delta” is a collection of seven panels with individual titles:
Delta Folks, Delta Relics, Going to Town, Nature’s Rhythm,
Passing Through, Sacred Spaces and Taming the Land, plus the exhibit’s opening panel.
Laura Walker, Delta State University graphic designer and brand manager, designed the traveling exhibit around Ferguson’s photography. In addition, Mothlite Media, a design agency owned by Laura and Josh Walker, created a website that will be the Delta State Archives’ first online companion to a traveling exhibit. The web aspect of the exhibit will also be launched and shared with the public at the opening reception. The exhibit will tour Mississippi sites for the first year, from September 2014 through September 2015.
After the first year, “This Delta” will be available to tour outside of Mississippi. “We are keeping the exhibit home-state-bound this first year to thank the Mississippi Humanities Council for their support of this project,” added Jones. “There is still time for future hosting sites. Contact us at the archives if you are interested in hosting the exhibit.”
For those missing the initial exhibit launch, the following Mississippi sites will also be hosting “This Delta”
September 2014 – William Alexander Percy Memorial Library, Greenville

This Delta: Photographs by Debra L. Ferguson
2014-08-24 14:00 | Capps Archives & Museum
Through the lens of her camera, Ferguson has captured a sense of the Mississippi Delta with sincerity and stark reality. Where the photograph is worth 1000 words, morsels of Mississippi literature shore up the wandering thoughts of a visitor. Our goal is to show the Delta, to read the Delta and to remember the Delta while encouraging each visitor to consider their own story and piece of history connected to this place. We are excited to be able to offer another layer of experience to this exhibit! While visitors stand in front of each panel, you now have the option of following along with Debra Ferguson as she explains the panelâ?Ts concept and the images selected for each panel. By following the link noted at the base of each panel (www.thisdelta.com), you can explore more about the images, read further excerpts from the authors presented on the panels and engage with the exhibit on a deeper level.

Life After the Storm: A story of survival, compassion, and the miracle of life.
2014-09-08 11:00 - 12:30 | BPAC, D & PL Main Theater
Kevin Hines has reached millions as he travels globally teaching other’s the importance of suicide prevention and mental health awareness. He presents on numerous topics from anti-bullying, wellness in the workplace, drug and alcohol prevention and more. His compelling presentation always brings the audience to their feet. More importantly, many members make contact later to explain the event as life-changing.
Following his suicide attempt by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge as a youth, Hines has become one of the most sought after speakers of these subjects In the US. Kevin continues his fight for wellness and dedicates his life to working for mental health equality, awareness, and education.
As a member of the CHP for over twenty-three years, with the majority of those years patrolling the Golden Gate Bridge, Sgt. Briggs discovered early that his job required him to take on an unusual role for a police officer: suicide prevention counselor. As a cancer survivor and survivor of multiple heart operations, Briggs’ familiarity with personal struggle bonds him with suicidal men and women. With simple empathy, an instinct for improvisation and a refusal to walk away, Briggs has negotiated hundreds of people from suicide on the Golden Gate Bridge. Sgt. Briggs retired from the CHP in November 2013. His TED Talk in March 2014 went viral with over 1.3M views.

Mississippi Solutions: An Ideas Tour
2014-09-23 09:00 - 11:00 | Cleveland City Hall, 100 North Street, Cleveland, MS, 38732, United States
Speaker Philip Gunn to Host Third Mississippi Solutions—an Ideas Tour
Jackson, MS—For the third year in a row, Speaker of the House Philip Gunn will host a series of non-partisan town hall meetings around Mississippi for his MS Solutions—an Ideas Tour. Speaker Gunn will make various stops around the state during the week of September 22, 2014.
The purpose of the meetings is to provide a local forum for citizens to share ideas they may have for improving Mississippi. While Speaker Gunn encourages Mississippians to share any suggestions they may have, he also encourages them to provide possible solutions for their concerns.
“Through the years, people have shared their concerns and opinions regarding issues we all care about: jobs, healthcare, education,” said Speaker Gunn. “This year, I anticipate people again echoing those sentiments, but I do hope they will also present ideas as to how your elected officials should work toward solving those issues that matter the most to you.
“Mississippians have responded enthusiastically the last two years that we have held MS Solutions—An Ideas Tour,” said Speaker Gunn. “The meetings provide an outlet for us to hear from Mississippians all over the State. Not everyone has the opportunity to come to Jackson and meet with elected officials. So, we essentially bring the Legislature to the people.”
Each meeting lasts one hour and is open to the public and media.

Jim Lucas: Photographs of the Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi, 1964-1968
2015-02-09 08:00 - 17:00 | Capps Archives & Museum Building, Main Gallery
The exhibit will run through 31 March 2015. To schedule tours of the exhibit, please contact the University Archives, 662.846.4780 or e-mail archives@deltastate.edu.
Lucas, a student during the early sixties was an outstanding photographer having progressed from carrier boy to photographer and lab man for the local newspaper. In 1959, at the age of 14, his first photo was published in the Jackson Daily News.
His craft with the camera led him to take photographs all during his years at Murrah High School and Millsaps College where with professional photojournalistic style he was as much school documentarian as he was student.
In 1964 Lucas was a student at Millsaps when the nation was focused on Mississippi and the search for Schwerner, Goodman and Chaney, civil rights workers missing in Neshoba County. During those turbulent times these events drew national press to Jackson and Lucas had the opportunity to meet and assist film cameramen from CBS news. Using his still camera he tried never to miss a visual story of his own and soon became a “stringer” for UPI and Time and Life magazines.
In 1968, Jim Lucas was drafted and spent his basic training in the Army at Fort Campbell, KY, afterward with special training in the Army Signal Corps at Fort Monmouth, NJ. During his deployment in Vietnam he shot non-combat footage for the Army gaining experience and commitment for his future career as a film cameraman. In 1969 he was distinguished by the DOD as the Military Newsfilm Motion Picture Photographer of the Year.
Upon his return to Jackson in 1973 he pursued a variety of freelance film jobs including commercial advertising, football filming, and freelance newsreel work for UPI and NBC. A highlight of his career was shooting several stories for “60 Minutes.” His first job on a feature film was Robert Altman’s “Thieves Like Us” as an electrician and his goal became to work on feature films as Director of Photography.
During the next years Jim’s career included television and feature film work, almost always outside of Mississippi, including films such as “Honeysuckle Rose,” “The Long Riders,” “Brubaker,” and “The Border.” He became known for the excellence of his technical ability and advanced to Camera Operator and Second Unit Director of Photography. While on location with the film “Barbarosa” he was in a fatal automobile accident. He died October 19, 1980.
The Lucas Collection includes an extensive number of negatives, prints, personal narratives, and a cache of memorabilia. The exhibit is a sample of images Lucas made during the civil rights movement and includes images of the search for the three missing civil rights workers, as well as other events such as the James Meredith March for Freedom in 1966, the Wharlest Jackson funeral in Natchez in 1967, and the Senate Hearings to Evaluate Poverty in Jackson in 1967 with the subsequent trip by Senator Robert Kennedy to the Mississippi Delta.
This exhibit was created and curated by Jane Hearn who was married to Lucas at the time of his death and Red Morgan, photojournalist and commercial still photographer. Their ongoing collaboration aims to archive Lucas’ extensive collection, and pay tribute to a passionate and skillful young photographer who grasped the significance of the events around him and conveyed his point of view in sensitive visual language.
The exhibit is sponsored in part by the DSU Archives & Museum, The Diversity Committee and the Mississippi Humanities Council.

South of Gold Mountain
2015-02-21 14:00 - 20:00 | Jobe Auditorium
Presented by Archives & museum, MDCHM, NEFA and the MS Humanities Council
To ring in the lunar New Year, the Mississippi Delta Chinese Heritage Museum MDCHM will be presenting NYC dance company, H.T. Chen & Dancers at Delta State University, Cleveland, MS.
A grant from the NEFA National Dance Touring program is providing partial support to bring the company in February 16 -22, 2015. On Saturday, February 21st at 2:00 pm the world premiere of South of Gold Mountain will be presented at Jobe Auditorium. (Before the performance, there will be guest speakers to introduce the work, and afterwards a meet the artist reception)
The production draws from the rich history of those who settled in the southern states before WWII. Acclaimed modern dance choreographer, H.T. Chen has created a body of work that gives poetic voice to Asians in America. He and Associate Director, Dian Dong traveled throughout the southern states to conduct oral interviews and gather material to develop the new work.
South of Gold Mountain incorporates dance, oral histories, traditional Chinese music, a contemporary sound score by James Lo, and a multi-generational cast of performers from NYC and MS. Completing the cast will be community members to play the roles of the children and elders.
Throughout the Chinese New Year week there will be open rehearsals and workshops in traditional Chinese Ribbon Dance, Calligraphy, contemporary dance, and fitness. Families are encouraged to participate in workshops for fun, health and good luck for the New Year. And while at Delta State, please visit the wonderful Chinese Heritage Museum on DSU campus!
The company will also travel to Greenville, MS where one of the lead performers, Lisa Chow, was raised. There, they will perform for young audiences and teach dance workshops.
The 2015 Year of the Sheep is an inspiring period. The Sheep’s gentle and calm nature make it among the animals that people like the most. Since ancient times, people have learned to use its fleece to make writing brushes and clothing to keep warm. People born in the year of sheep are tender, polite, filial, clever, and kind-hearted. They have special sensitivity to art and beauty, faith in religion, a special fondness for quiet living, and are considered wise, gentle and compassionate.

They Call Me Q
2015-04-06 19:00 - 20:30 | Jobe Auditorium
THEY CALL ME Q is the story of a girl from Bombay growing up in the Boogie Down Bronx who gracefully seeks balance between the cultural pressures brought forth by her traditional parents and wanting acceptance into her new culture. Along the journey, Qurrat Ann Kadwani transforms into 13 characters that have shaped her life including her parents, Caucasian teachers, Puerto Rican classmates, and African-American friends. Laden with heart and abundant humor, THEY CALL ME Q speaks to the universal search for identity experienced by immigrants of all nationalities. Fueled by her “remarkable ear for vocal mimicry,” Charlebois Post wrote, “Highly entertaining and engaging. Kadwani’s amazing presence and delivery definitely makes her a force to be reckoned with.” Best Play Award Winner 2013 Maui Fringe Festival. Best Actress Award Winner 2012 Variations Theatre Group Festival NYC. – See more at: http://qkadwani.com/theycallmeq/#sthash.3dd00zFJ.dpuf

Winner of the TONY and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor. Featuring a fast-paced wildly funny and touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a truly fresh and vibrant score by William Finn, this bee is one unforgettable experience.
An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home life, the tweens spell their way through a series of [potentially made-up] words hoping to never hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box. A riotous ride complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful den of comedic genius, a fast-paced crowd pleaser, and an instant theatre patron favorite.

Delta State will host a Japanese Film Week with the screenings of the films “Samurai Cat” and “Bento Harassment.” DSU was selected as one of 18 host sites around the country for the two films. “Samurai Cat” (2014) Summary: A charming and hilarious comedy directed by Yoshitaka Yamaguchi, former assistant director to Takashi Miike. A once-feared swordsman, Kyutaro Madarame finds himself a penniless and masterless samurai in old Edo (Tokyo), Japan. Desperate for money, he accepts an assassination contract from a local gang. The target: a rival boss’ beloved white cat, Tamanojo. However, when Kyutaro lays his eyes on Tamanojo, his heart melts and he is unable to carry out the deed. Instead, he escapes with the cat, invoking the rage of both gangs who now seek to exact their revenge.
Before Kyutaro can live his life in peace as a newly-converted “cat person,” he must face both clans in a final showdown.” “Bento Harassment” (2019) Summary: “Based on a true story, this is a comedic, heartwarming film about the love between a mother and daughter told with much laughter and many tears. Futaba is going through a teenage rebellious phase and refuses to speak to her single mother Kaori. Kaori retaliates with “bento harassment” – sending Futaba to school each day with an elaborate home-made box lunch incorporating messages of love and encouragement. Over the next 3 years, Futaba overcomes her initial embarrassment and comes to appreciate these expressions of the undying support of her mother.”
Appropriate for ages 10+. Japanese with English subtitles. These events are free and open to the public. The event is sponsored by the International Student Services office and the Japan Foundation New York. For more information, please contact Michelle Johansen at mjohansen@deltastate.edu or stop by the International Office in Union 200.
