Cole: Bridge to Justice - Sunday Screening

Join us for a special screening of Cole: Bridge to Justice as part of the Two Mississippi Museums Sunday Screening Series. Cole: Bridge to Justice tells the inspiring story of Dr. Donald R. Cole, whose journey from student activist and member of the "Ole Miss Eight" to respected educator, mathematician, and university leader helped shape the course of higher education in Mississippi and beyond.
Through archival footage, personal reflections, and interviews with family, friends, colleagues, and former students, the film explores themes of leadership, resilience, educational access, and the power of individuals to create meaningful institutional change. Following the screening, audience members will have the opportunity to participate in a conversation with the filmmakers and special guests connected to the story.
