    Dear SAA Members:

    Please join us for the inaugural Society of Mississippi Archivists Virtual Table Talk featuring "'We have no leaders, we are all leaders!': Collecting and Celebrating the 1969 Black Student Sit-In at Delta State College," a talk given by Dr. Carrie Freshour, Prof. Ted Fisher, Prof. Arlene Sanders, Sykina Butts, Tyler Wells, Michelle Johansen, and Emily Jones of Delta State University.

    About this talk: The 1969 Black Student Sit-In Oral History Project is an ongoing, multi-year multimedia project funded by the Mississippi Delta National Heritage Area and Delta State University. Virtual Table Talk speakers will share how multiple departments across campus have collaborated to collect and preserve the oral histories of students who participated in the March 10, 1969, peaceful sit-in at the President's office, which resulted in the police arresting fifty-two students who were forced to spend the night at Parchman Penitentiary. The campus and community events leading to the sit-in and the aftermath of the protest will also be highlighted.

     This event is FREE and will take place on Friday, July 31, 2020 at 12:00 PM CST.
