Join the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program (SPOHP) as students share their experiences from the 12th Mississippi Freedom Project trip. A team of student researchers road tripped to the Mississippi Delta on a weeklong fieldwork initiative interviewing civil rights veterans, educators, and activists. They made their way all the way to Elaine, Arkansas to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Elaine Massacre in 1919. Other stops along the way included:
Monticello, FL
Tallahassee, FL
Montgomery, AL
Natchez, MS
Glendora, MS
Elaine, AR
Atlanta, GA
Come listen and learn how you can apply and go on the trip next year to engage with the civil rights history in the Delta. All the trip’s costs are covered except for food. Students gain experience in oral history methodology, community engagement, service learning and more.
Light refreshments will be provided.
