History Is Lunch: "Remembering the Clinton Massacre: 150 Years Later"

At noon Wednesday, September 3, Missy Jones, DeeDee Baldwin, Albert Dorsey, and Nicholas Lemann will be remembering the 150th anniversary of the Clinton Massacre as part of the History Is Lunch series. The Clinton Massacre signaled the end of Reconstruction in 1875 as white Democrats sought to “redeem” Mississippi from the newly emancipated and duly elected Black politicians. This program will take place in the Craig H. Neilsen Auditorium of the Two Mississippi Museums and will also stream live on the MDAH Facebook page and YouTube channel.
