Social Life and Customs in Rural America: 1940's & 1950's 

This interactive program fosters an awareness of -  and appreciation for -  contributions of everyday Americans to the fabric of our country. Like the book from which it was adapted, Soul Stirrings, each program provides a factual, personal, accounting of what everyday living was like as an African American growing up in Mississippi during the 1940’s and ‘50’s through the prism of  topical events of the period.    Program elements capture accomplishments of the sometimes unheralded heroes in our personal history  in an attempt to show that excellence can be achieved by each of us, despite our circumstance, the region of our country we call home, or our socio-economic status.   Through interactive dialogue, participants become aware that many of their ancestors were steeped in high morals, family values, work ethic, and an overwhelming sense of the importance of education for the next generation.
