They MS Archives Building is one is the top sources of documented history in the state of Mississippi. It provides detailed- traceable accounts of telling the story of the State. I must commend the team of researchers, they make a point to locate and acknowledge that MS history is, in a large part a complicated and spread out history that attributes much of its stories through oral tradition. Yet there is a mecca of informative archives that provide a wealth of information to any local and curious historical person out there. If you are a writer and are looking for verification after in hearing the many stories that circulate about the State of MS, I would start here.

During an open morning in Jackson, we stumbled upon the museum and decided to explore and it was easily one of the most memorable parts of our trip. We started by being welcomed into the space. This museum intentionally documents the history of the civil rights museum specifically as it pertains to Mississippi. One of the docents shared that she volunteers at the museum because she remembers what it was like growing up in Mississippi as a white child and has committed her allyship to ensuring others can understand what she witnessed with a deep desire for a better future for Mississippi. It was amazing that there were other guests visiting the museum not just from other states like us, but from other countries as well! The true treat of the visit was stumbling upon the center of the museum, where the youngest freedom rider to every be imprisoned was speaking to a group of high school soccer players from Texas. He shared his story and how his activism started at such a young age. The high school students and myself were in awe of just his bravery and hearing what it was truly like to fight for what's right at such a young age. This museum tells an important story that sadly isn't over as the fight for equity and equality is never over. Yet, it's inspiring to know that there are committed individuals ensuring that in the deep South, these stories are documented and told for all those to honor and understand.

I do not think that people can enter it, but the exterior is nice, especially for architecture fans. It features unique cast aluminum doors and features panels that recreate scenes from the famous Battle of Ackia in 1736 to the Vietnam War. The front of the building above the entrance to the quad reads: PEACE SHALL COME TO THOSE WHO SERVE FOR PEACE. The grounds are well maintained and the lawn is picturesque. It is as beautiful as, and enhance the building. In front of the building are two limestone sculpture panels, one on each side of the entrance to the quad, representing a single soldier at war, winning the peace, and returning home and picking up on his life again. If you look closely, you will notice that all of the figures have the same face, even the woman, because they represent one person, or the life of one person in many seasons. In the center of the quad you will find a Tomb of an Unknown Soldier, representing all of the Mississippians lost in all of the wars. The sides of the tomb has four stars along the bottom and reads: "MAY THIS SYMBOL STAND GUARD OVER THE IDEALS AND PURPOSES FOR WHICH GALLANT MISSISSIPPIANS SUFFERED AND MAY IT SERVE AS INSPIRATION TO US TO SHIELD FOREVER THE FRAGILE QUALITY OF LIBERTY". The back of the tomb reads: "TIME WILL NOT DIM THE GLORY OF THEIR DEEDS" Behind the tomb is an American flag that is flying at half-mast. Above the entrance leading into the building, behind the tomb, the building is inscribed with "HOW SWEET MUST BE THE PEACE THE HEROES FIND". The green space in front of the building is well maintained and you will find an information placard on the grounds that gives some background on the building. There is also a small sculpture/memorial located on the side of the building, to its left. It is dedicated to the Mississippi volunteers that helped with the 1889 War with Spain. It has built-in benches and an inscription that reads "HONOR TO HEROES IS GLORY TO GOD". This is definitely worth a visit, even if you cannot go in. The beauty of this memorial is that a visit here can be coupled with a visit to the Old Capital Building and is very close to the two museums.

Cars are on the side of me and in front of me there was no way to leave. I locked the doors and called the nonemergency, police policeman in a car was around the backside of Kroger. They immediately drove over to my location and stopped right behind the black truck that had its engine off and enabled me to back out. The not Emergency Police woman on the phone talk to me while this was happening. The black truck turns its engine back on when it saw the police behind them and the police followed the truck outside the parking lot, I wanted to think the police woman that helped me and the policeman in their car. It was perfect timing! I really appreciate them thank you.

He kept trying to look inside of cars as they whizzed by. I thought for sure someone was going to hit him before I could get him to jump inside my car, and he eventually did. I took him to the Madison, Mississippi shelter first; she quickly shooed me away. Next, I drove to the Ridgeland Madison Police Department. I tell you, they quickly open their arms for him. They played with him, letting him run around the lobby; the girl behind the desk became attached to him quickly. Oh, how this furbaby enjoyed the attention he was getting. I knew he was in good hands before I left. But boy, I wanted to take him home. They did call their local shelter and the guy came in minutes. He was quickly fallen in love with him, too. He was scanned, no chip. But I tell you, he was so loved at the police department that one of them will surely adopt him after the 8-day hold.
