Mississippi Freedom Seder

Join the Two Mississippi Museums and the Goldring/Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life for a Mississippi Freedom Seder in the Craig H. Neilsen Auditorium of the Two Mississippi Museums. Inspired by the original 1969 Freedom Seder, where hundreds of people of different backgrounds gathered to explore and celebrate freedom in the context of the Civil Rights Movement, this communal event invites participants to the Passover table for an evening of commemoration, stories, and community-building. Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for students, and are available for purchase here.
