33 days.

Thirty-three days until we gather for From Douglass to Duck Hill.

Thirty-three days until we come together to remember Roosevelt “Red” Townes and Robert “Bootjack” McDaniels, whose lives were stolen by a lynch mob in Duck Hill, Mississippi in 1937.

Thirty-three days until we honor the generations who carried these stories, often in whispers, through fear and silence.

And thirty-three days until we ask ourselves a simple question:

What light will we carry forward?

This year, we will gather not only in remembrance, but in community. Through storytelling, music, reflection, and ritual, we will confront difficult truths while making space for healing, hope, and action.

History is not behind us.

It lives in our policies.
It lives in our communities.
It lives in what we choose to remember—and what we refuse to forget.

Join us as we journey from Douglass to Duck Hill, from memory to movement, from darkness toward light.

MISSISSIPPI, SAVE THE DATE. 💜

This Memorial Day Weekend, Mississippi2 invites you to join us for From Douglass to Duck Hill: Memory, Democracy & the Unfinished American Project featuring keynote speaker Imani Perry.

Inspired by the enduring words and legacy of Frederick Douglass, this gathering will honor the lives of Roosevelt “Red” Townes and Robert “Bootjack” McDaniels through an evening of remembrance, live music, racial healing, and civic dialogue.

At a time when history itself feels contested, we believe gathering matters.
Remembering matters.
Each other matters.

What began years ago as a desire to tell the truth about Mississippi — the beauty, the pain, the contradictions, the resilience — has grown into sacred community work rooted in storytelling, healing, and civic engagement.

📍 St. Andrew’s Episcopal Cathedral — Jackson, MS
📅 July 5 | 5–7 PM
🎟 Tickets available now via Eventbrite

We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful evening of truth, memory, and community. 💜

These boxes carry more than supplies — they hold love, dignity, and generations of care.
They whisper, you are seen, you are sacred, you are not alone.

The first wave of Mary Menstruated supplies is packed and ready to move — proof of what happens when community shows up, when we decide that periods deserve power.

This is what community looks like.
This is what healing looks like.

🩸 Join us Nov. 15, 11 AM–1 PM at Fondren Presbyterian Church.
Donations can be dropped off ahead of time — or brought the day of.
Every pad. Every dollar. Every act of care counts.
