  • Unveiling of 11 Civil Rights Markers

This project was made possible through the funding of a 2018 Na7onal Park Service African American Preserva7on grant (NPS) and the collabora7ve partnership with Mississippi State University’s Carl Small Town Center (CSTC). Residents and tourists can journey along the marked Mule Train Interpre.ve Trail and read, touch and explore the content of each marker. These markers signify the loca7ons and places where Dr. King, members of the Southern Chris7an Leadership Conference (SCLC), noted celebri7es, Freedom Riders, and hundreds of civil rights community organizers, as well as scores of local leaders and residents emerged; crea7ng this civil rights history, which is now documented and ar7s7cally displayed on the eleven interpre7ve markers. A glimpse of the past 5 years--what propelled this small rural community forward… Prior to Quitman County and the City of Marks receiving the 2018 NSP grant, sparks were being ignited; the successful construc7on of the newest Northwest Amtrak sta7on located in Marks, Mississippi was groundbreaking. This newly built sta7on opened on May 4, 2018, and serves (2) trains stopping daily on the Chicago and New Orleans routes. It took two decades of lobbying to obtain the Amtrak sta7on, and this community is proud to be one of 500 Amtrak sta7ons in the United States. The sta7on is located in a rural underserved region in northwest Mississippi, which now provide an affordable transporta7on op7on to a popula7on of 347,150 within a 50 miles radius.

  • 12/01/06 Page 1 of 5 North Carolina Department of Transportation
    W-17 North Carolina Department of Transportation Division of Highways Traffic Engineering and Safety Systems Branch STANDARD PRACTICE for Optional “Welcome To” Signs The purpose of this standard practice is to establish guidelines for optional “Welcome To” signs at or near municipality limits, county lines, or community limits along NCDOT roadways. This practice allows municipalities and counties the flexibility to display slogan(s) that depict their character or identity on official highway signs. This practice also allows municipalities and counties to display an emblem, seal, or flag on signs located on roadways posted 45 mph or greater. Communities with official boundaries recorded at the county courthouse and that appear on the official and most current North Carolina State Transportation Map may also participate in optional “Welcome To” signs; however, signs for communities are allowed only on secondary roadways and emblems, seals, or flags are not allowed on these signs. This practice sets reasonable guidelines by restricting the number of slogans and overall sign size, as well as to consolidating installations along NCDOT roadways by including municipality and county limit signing within “Welcome To” signing. The intent is also to promote statewide consistency in responses for “Welcome To” signing requests. It is the standard practice of NCDOT to allow the installation of optional “Welcome To” or “Entrance” signs on the highway right-of-way for municipalities, counties, and communities as specified in this practice. Optional “Welcome To” or “Entrance” signs shall be located and erected according to the standards of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), the North Carolina Supplement to the MUTCD, the North Carolina Roadway Standards, and the standards and criteria herein.

  • Culture Heritage and Politics of Reconciliation: Reinventing the Blues in the Narratives of the Delta Blues Museum and the B.B
    FORUM FOR INTER-AMERICAN RESEARCH (FIAR) VOL. 13.1 (MAR. 2020) 23-34 ISSN: 1867-1519 © forum for inter-american research Culture Heritage and Politics of Reconciliation: Reinventing the Blues in the Narratives of The Delta Blues Museum and the B.B. King Museum WILFRIED RAUSSERT (BIELEFELD UNIVERSITY, GERMANY) Abstract “Mississippi Goddam,” a song written and performed by the African American jazz singer and pianist Nina Simone, captures all too well the national imaginary of the state of Mississippi as racist backwater. The song was written in 1964 during one of the most turbulent periods of U.S. history. It was first released on her album Nina Simone in Concert, based on recordings of three concerts she gave at Carnegie Hall the same year. The song mirrors Simone’s response to the racial violence in the 1960s, the anger she felt at the murder of African American Medgar Evers in Mississippi, and the 16th street Baptist Church bombing in which four black children got killed. Released as a single, the song became a national anthem during the Civil Rights movement. Today, the state of Mississippi is working hard to improve its image and reputation. It welcomes visitors with the sign ‘Welcome to the Home of America’s Music.’ Formerly known as the Magnolia State, the state of Mississippi now officially boasts its reputation as the home of U.S.-American national music. Keywords: cultural heritage, Delta Blues Museum, Blues, B.B. King Museum The name of this tune is Mississippi Goddam And I mean every word of it the Civil Rights movement.
