The Delta Cultural Center will host a new exhibition from July 26 to September 13, 2024, titled Mr. Pruitt's Possum Town: Photographing Trouble and Resilience in the American South in the central gallery at the DCC Visitor Center.

This photographic exhibit, consisting of photographic prints, archival film footage, and video, reveals life between 1915 to 1960 in Columbus, Mississippi. Built around the collection of photographer Otis Noel Pruitt, the exhibition explores race relations and issues of class, gender, and religion. 

The exhibition, with its content, will encourage conversations within our communities as we continue to strive for equality and deeper understandings of the role of culture and history in 21st Century America. 

An official Grand Opening ceremony for this exhibition is scheduled for Friday, July 26, 2024, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the DCC Visitor Center. Food and entertainment will be provided. This event is free and open to the public.
