The Mississippi Humanities Council (MHC) will partner with the Mississippi Film Office and the Mississippi Department of Archives and History to screen It’s in the Voices, a documentary film that tells the story of a 1970 oral history project in Washington County, Mississippi, that examined topics regarding black educators in the Mississippi Delta and the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. A Q&A session with Field Humphrey, director of the documentary, will follow the screening. It’s in the Voices will be screened Sunday, Aug. 13, at 2 p.m. in the Neilson Auditorium at the Two Mississippi Museums in Jackson.
The Sunday Screenings partnership goal is to bring documentary films to public audiences each month for the next year. The MHC gives a special thanks to the Mississippi Film Office, the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, and the Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers for making these screenings possible.
Future screenings will be announced as films are confirmed.
