READINGS
To prepare for your conversations, site visits, and creative collaboration at NDSG Jackson, please spend some time with the readings, videos, and websites on this page. The priority is to have some basic familiarity with contemporary Jackson -- offered by the interview with Mayor Chokwe Lummba and with historic context -- offered by the "Mississippi Goddam" chapter of Barbara Ransby's biography of Ella Baker.
