Events

To celebrate the birthday of one of Mississippi’s most powerful truth-tellers and Civil Rights icon Fannie Lou Hamer, campers will explore history through the lens of courage, community, and justice, uncovering the stories of others like Hamer who spoke up and made a difference. Students will create works of art, writing, music, and storytelling that reflect their own experiences and celebrate their unique Mississippi stories. 

This session takes place on October 6-10 from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the Pete Spiro Classroom at the Two Mississippi Museums. Registration is $50 a week for third through eighth grade students. Space is limited to thirty campers. Register here by September 22. For more information, contact Jasmine Holmes, MDAH education and outreach manager, at 601-576-6773 or at jholmes@mdah.ms.gov.
