Sunday Screening of An Ordinary Hero
Join us for a screening of An Ordinary Hero: The True Story of Joan Trumpauer Mulholland in the Craig H. Neilsen Auditorium of the Two Mississippi Museums. This film explores the life of Joan Trumpauer Mulholland, who witnessed the realities of segregation and racism firsthand and participated in the Civil Rights Movement. At just 19 years old, Mulholland had participated in more than three dozen protests and was incarcerated on death row at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman after joining the Freedom Rides. Mulholland’s son, Loki, produced the film about his mother’s civil rights activism. Both are scheduled to attend the screening. For more information, call 601-576-6850 or email info@mdah.ms.gov.
