The Brandon High School teacher academy explored the Mississippi Museum of History and the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum. From โOrganizing Mississippiโ to the powerful story of freedom songs, these future teachers experienced meaningful ways to help tell our "Mississippi story." These students are already growing into thoughtful educators who will inspire the next generation! Shoutout to Phillip Nelson for chaperoning and our amazing tour guide for being so knowledgeable. My favorite parts were the โThis Little Light of Mine galleryโ and chatting with the one and only Hezekiah Watkins (Americaโs youngest freedom rider)
