Meeting with officials of the National Endowment for the Humanities

Great meeting today (3/27/2024) at the offices of the Mississippi Humanities Council in Jackson. I was excited to join thought leaders and educators from across Mississippi in a meeting with officials of the National Endowment for the Humanities. I was especially delighted to meet in person the wonderful Malika Polk-Lee, executive director of the B.B. King Museum, which is in my hometown of Indianola.

Note: One photo shows Elisabeth Callihan at the far right and the other shows me in the same location. 😊
