SUMMARY: The Two Mississippi Museums hosted a free gallery talk today in the “Solidarity Now: 1968 Poor People’s Campaign” special exhibit. Museum educator Drew Gardner discussed how the campaign brought attention to poverty and hunger. The exhibit focuses on the Resurrection City, a demonstration just outside the Washington Monument, and aims to raise awareness about nutrition, poverty, lack of housing, and other social concerns. Registered dietitian Rebecca Butz from UMMC’s Ambulatory Everscare Clinic spoke about how the clinic addresses social needs to improve patient health. Both presentations highlighted the importance of addressing social issues and working towards meeting the needs of the people, particularly in Mississippi.
