The Mound Bayou Museum serves as a cultural hub that preserves history, heritage, and storytelling while strengthening community identity. It brings people together through education, exhibits, and shared experiences, fostering pride, connection, and a deeper understanding of the community’s roots and future. We had a fantastic time in Mississippi at the Mound Bayou Museum with Hermon Johnson (Director) and former Mayor Darryl Johnson, further highlighting the power of community, leadership, and cultural connection.

We had a fantastic time at the Legislative Fish Fry at Kentucky State University on March 4th! The event brought together students, faculty, administrators, and community guests for a hands‑on celebration of KSU’s agricultural programs.

Students were the stars of the day—preparing the fish fry outdoors, welcoming guests inside the Cooperative Extension Building, and showcasing the incredible teamwork and spirit within the agriculture program.

Guests enjoyed a delicious spread of Fish and Chips, appetizers, drinks, and the crowd‑favorite Bourbon and Paw Paw ice cream made with fruit grown right on the KSU Farm. It was a great reminder of the university’s commitment to agriculture, sustainability, and student‑centered learning.

Highlights included: • Watching students expertly prepare the fish fry
• Sampling a wide variety of foods
• Tasting the unique Bourbon and Paw Paw ice cream
• Engaging with KSU leadership and program representatives

The best part? Getting to try all the amazing dishes created by KSU students and staff!

Key takeaways: • Gained insight into KSU’s agriculture program
• Learned more about student involvement and interest in agricultural studies
• Saw firsthand the strong sense of community and leadership presence

Proud of the work happening at Kentucky State University and excited for more events like this!
