Crossroads @ Senatobia: Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter Book Discussion

October 6, 2020 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Free

On October 6 at 2pm, the Learning Resource Center at Northwest Mississippi Community College in Senatobia will host a virtual book discussion of Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter featuring the book’s author Tom Franklin. The program will take place in conjunction with the Smithsonian traveling exhibit Crossroads: Change in Rural America, on display in Senatobia through October 22.

Crossroads: Change in Rural America offers small towns a chance to look at their own paths to highlight the changes that affected their fortunes over the past century. The exhibition will prompt discussions about what happened when America’s rural population became a minority of the country’s population and the ripple effects that occurred.

The exhibit is open to the public Mondays-Thursdays from 8am to 9pm, Fridays from 8am-3:30pm, and Sundays 2-7pm.

Future Crossroads events in Senatobia:
October 16, 11am: “Cultural Appropriation at the Crossroads” lecture
