On December 9, the MHC will host its first in-person Ideas on Tap event since 2019. We are excited to be back in-person to have productive conversations on various topics that pertain to Mississippi.
There has been much controversy surrounding “critical race theory” throughout the nation, but what does CRT mean in Mississippi? How should we teach our state's history of racism, and how is this history still relevant today? This panel discussion seeks to address that issue from a broader perspective.
The panel will feature Vidhi Bamzai (civil rights attorney), Deidre Alexander (educator & doctoral student in education), and Chauncey Spears (education curriculum expert.) Kayleigh Skinner, managing editor of Mississippi Today, will moderate.
Please join us at the Ecoshed in Jackson December 9 at 5:30 p.m. for an interactive and civil conversation about this important issue. The MHC strongly suggests following CDC guidelines at this event, including wearing a mask if you have not been fully vaccinated.
