Who holds our history? Who tells our stories of slavery and race or civil rights and wrongs? Where are the places in our communities, in our own back yards, at our own kitchen tables that speak the history of who we are? Who holds our history in their memories, in their mouths, in their hands?
How do we peel up the layers of history so that history can teach us everything, including the future? This workshop explores how we might use various sites of memory and writing to begin the difficult and challenging conversations about race and poverty in Mississippi.
