January 11th we will have our MLK Jr. Summit which is an opportunity to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy through the work of our youth leaders.

Join us at the Two Mississippi Museums Saturday, January 18, through Tuesday, January 21, to celebrate the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. Having sponsored free admission on MLK Weekend for six consecutive years, FedEx generously extended the 2025 celebration to include Tuesday, January 21, a day designated as National Day of Racial Healing.
This free weekend will include themed crafts and activities for students and parents, performances by local talent, museum tours on voting rights, gallery talks by Freedom Rider Hezekiah Watkins and on-campus voter registration by the Mississippi Secretary of State’s Elections Division. MLK Night of Culture, inspired by the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, will take place at 6 p.m. Monday, January 20. On the National Day of Racial Healing on Tuesday, January 21, the museums will host two panel discussions—one celebrating Dr. John Perkins’ contribution to the Civil Rights Movement and the other exploring the role of philanthropy in community transformation.

The Healing Power of Art is very beneficial as we confront issues and educate on the topics around the personal hurt and pain of racism. We will provide our campus community with an opportunity to eat and greet, bring to light the pain, and use our racial healing circles to provide a calming reflection moment to our bodies and minds. Participants can join in our moment of comfort together as they add to our “The Power of Expression” mural.
