A Story of Vision and Persistence the Mississippi Arts & Entertainment Experience’S 20-Year Journey from Idea to Launch
1 A Story of Vision and Persistence The Mississippi Arts & Entertainment Experience’s 20-Year Journey from Idea to Launch By Philip Shirley An idea takes root to showcase the artists, musicians and performers of Mississippi America’s contributions to the world of music—especially in the forms of blues, jazz, gospel and country music—are unquestioned. And the origins of those contributions can be traced by musicologists to Mississippi. The roots of the blues and gospel run deep in Mississippi and jazz, rock and roll, and country music owe much of their success to these early American music genres. Mississippi’s musical heritage is in many ways unmatched. It is against this backdrop of musical history that The Mississippi Arts & Entertainment Experience--fondly known as The MAX—began to explore the entire range of contributions of its artists and performers. The MAX opens its doors to showcase the amazing achievements of Mississippians that have influenced artists and performers on the world stage. Music, dance, visual arts, quilting, literature and storytelling, theatre, pottery, puppetry, folk arts and other forms of arts and entertainment help weave a rich tapestry from the arts culture in Mississippi. Mississippians recognize their writers, artists and performers with the same degree of honor they feel for their doctors and nurses, government officials, and community leaders. This is the story of The Mississippi Arts & Entertainment Experience. It’s the story of a group of people with a shared vision for how the arts make communities and a state stronger. It’s a story of persistence through adversity over two decades to bring The MAX to the public.

Educational Resource Packet: Civil War Trail
SHERMAN’S “BOW TIES” Educational Resource Packet MERREHOPE ROSE HILL CEMETERY Funded in part by The Riley Foundation INTRODUCTION This packet has been designed to guide teachers as their students learn about Mississippi history, especially the events that surround Meridian. The Meridian Civil War Trail On Feb. 14, 2014, the Meridian Civil War Trail was unveiled. Ten markers have been dedicated, sharing the stories of Meridian’s involvement in the war and commemorating Feb. 14, 1864, the day Meridian lost almost everything. How to use these curriculum ideas The curriculum is based on an arts-integrated approach, and the framework follows the Common Core Standards. It was written with 3rd and 9th grade Mississippi History students in mind. The Meridian Civil War Trail section of visitmeridian.com is an excellent resource for the curriculum, and includes images, expanded content, maps, trail marker videos and more. Trail markers feature QR codes that, when scanned with an electronic tablet or smart phone, will lead directly to videos with expanded content and photographs. Teachers are encouraged to utilize these resources for supplemental media. Teachers may consider partnering with their music staff for the music section for this curriculum or allowing your 9th grade students to create lessons for 3rd grade students as part of their research. Acknowledgments: Special thanks to The Riley Foundation for providing Summer Work Program Internships. Curriculum Design: Laura Huff and Jesica Estes, Interns Graphic Design within the Curriculum Packet: Jesica Estes, Intern Project Directors: Dede Mogollon, Executive Director of Lauderdale County Tourism; and Charlotte B.
