Wells.
Rust College proposes to develop an online repository (database) with an innovative front-end website entitled, The Center for the Study of Ida B. Wells and the African American Heritage in North Mississippi. We propose a collaborative effort involving three humanities faculty members (in English, journalism and music) and one Social Science (history) faculty member to create content and educational material using web-based technology. Funds will be used to develop an electronically searchable collection of electronic texts written in or about Ida B. Wells and the African-American community of Holly Springs/Marshall County and North Mississippi from which she was born. |
