Please join us for our upcoming educational programs on Windsor Ruins presented by Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries, a historian at Ohio State University. The first, “The Untold Stories of Enslavement at Windsor,” will be held at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, December 3, at Mississippi Cultural Crossroads in Port Gibson. Dr. Jeffries will provide historical context for new interpretation at Windsor Ruins by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH). The program will include stories about people who were enslaved at Windsor before the Civil War and what they did during and after it ended.
The second lecture, “(Mis)Remembering the Past: From Slavery to Civil Rights,” will take place at noon on Wednesday, December 4, at the Two Mississippi Museums in Jackson. Part of the History Is Lunch series, the second lecture will also be available via livestream on the MDAH Facebook page and YouTube channel.
We hope to see you at one or both events. Please find more details here: Lecture 1 Event Details and Lecture 2 Event Details.
