A new exhibition, A Movement in Every Direction: Legacies of the Great Migration, is now on view at he Mississippi Museum of Art.

From the website: A Movement in Every Direction explores the profound impact of the Great Migration on the social and cultural life of the United States from historical and personal perspectives. Co-organized with the Baltimore Museum of Art, the exhibition features newly commissioned works by 12 acclaimed Black artists across a variety of media. The Great Migration (1915-1970) saw more than six million Black Americans leave the South for cities across the United States. Informed by research, explorations, and conversations, the artists’ works explore themes of perseverance, self-determination, and self-reliance, along with the impacts this historical phenomenon continues to have today.

Join other Fondren members at the Museum on Sunday, June 26, at noon for lunch and a tour of the exhibit.

Admission is free on Sundays, but we need your reservation no later than Tuesday, June 21, at 5 p.m. Email the church office at office@fondrenpcusa.org to reserve your spot.
