Voter rights, access to be forefront of Mississippi Democratic convention
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Democratic Party will hold its annual convention on Saturday, focusing on electing a new executive committee and defining the party's platform. Under the leadership of State Rep. Cheikh Taylor, the party aims to address issues such as Medicaid expansion, public school funding, teacher pay raises, a $15 minimum wage, and affordable housing. A key topic is the restoration of voting rights post-incarceration, highlighting the convoluted and restrictive current processes. The party also seeks to improve voter access by advocating for measures like early voting and online registration. The convention's outcomes will be presented at the Democratic National Convention in August.

SUMMARY: The Mississippi Petrified Forest, located in Flora near Jackson, is a unique national forest in the southeastern U.S., presenting a natural history of Mississippi. Discovered in the mid-1800s, it opened to the public in 1963 under Bob and Shirl Schabilion. Formed around 36 million years ago through natural processes like flooding and glacial movements, the petrified logs are remnants of ancient trees, once over 100 feet tall. Visitors can explore the nature trail, view exhibits in the Earth Science Museum, try gem mining, or camp at the site. The forest also features a new pavilion for events and a gift shop with souvenirs.
