The application deadline for the Great Migration Summer Teacher Institute is Monday, Feb. 28.
Offered by Mississippi Department of Archives & History and Mississippi Museum of Art, this week-long institute in July 2022 will engage teachers in the exploration of the Great Migration-related special exhibitions and time period, as well as ideas about public memory, self-determination, and resilience.
Teachers from Mississippi as well as Baltimore, Brooklyn, Los Angeles and other cities where Mississippians settled during the Great Migration will receive priority. Teachers will receive a $500 stipend. Learn more and apply here: https://www.mdah.ms.gov/greatmigration/teacherinstitute.
