Walker\, PhD\, Assistant Professor of History\, University of Vermont   \nDr. Walker’s talk will discuss the new yet hidden in plain sight story of women’s social movement participation during the 1960s through the Mississippi Box Project. The project unfolded through the U.S. postal service\, an overlooked government service that was a contentious site in the battle for civil rights. The project allowed ordinary Black women in Mississippi and white women in New England to forge unique relationships and participate in the Civil Rights Movement through the exchange of food\, clothing\, medicine\, letters\, and movement information. By the end of the decade\, more than six thousand individuals traded goods and letters through the postal system across the Mason-Dixon. Creating their own imperfect beloved communities through the postal service – most without ever meeting in person – Black and white women worked together to literally and figuratively feed the Civil Rights Movement.   URL:https://www.smcvt.edu/event/sending-sisterhood-building-benevolent-beloved-communities-through-the-united-states-postal-system/ LOCATION:Roy Room\, Dion Family Student Center CATEGORIES:Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Convocation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.smcvt.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Pamela-Nicole-Walker-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250121T134500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250121T143500 DTSTAMP:20260415T195156 CREATED:20250109T152921Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250109T152921Z UID:10001276-1737467100-1737470100@www.smcvt.edu SUMMARY:What does it mean to be a Vermonter?
