MLK Night of Culture: “The Great Migration: Those Who Stayed”

Posted on January 17, 2022January 17, 2022 by Staff Report
In honor of the life of Martin Luther King Jr., the public is invited to the annual MLK Night of Culture program. This year’s theme is “Those Who Stayed,” inspired by the stories of the individuals who remained in Mississippi during the Great Migration, a population movement of African Americans who left their homes to seek better opportunities in the northern and western states in response to racial injustice in the rural South. The event is free and includes live poetry and performances by Jackson State University’s MADDRAMA theatre troupe, Hinds Community College’s MONTAGE Theatre of Dance and other featured artists. The event is located at Craig H. Neilsen Auditorium of the Two Mississippi Museums. The program is tonight, January 17th, at 6 p.m. but in person seating is limited. The event will also be streamed live on the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum Facebook page. Mississippi Civil Rights Museum | Facebook

Also, admission to the Two Mississippi Museums will be free on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Monday, January 17, from 9 a.m.–5 p.m. sponsored by FedEx. Face masks and social distancing guidelines are required. For more information 601-576-6850 Info@mdah.ms.gov

“In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”
“We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.”
“The time is always right to do what is right.”
“We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.”
“Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.”
“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.”
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
“I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
“If a man has not discovered something that he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.”
