Delta Epiphany: RFK In Mississippi

The Museum presented a special program featuring Ellen Meacham, author of "Delta Epiphany: Robert F. Kennedy in Mississippi." Meacham discussed the lasting impact of Robert F. Kennedy’s visit to the Mississippi Delta in 1967, where Kennedy was stunned by the level of poverty and hunger he witnessed. Through the press coverage that followed him, the nation gained new understanding that children were starving within the United States. The program was presented in conjunction with the Museum’s temporary exhibit, "Rebel Spirits: Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr."

This program took place at the Museum on June 18, 2018.
