Mini Museum @ Jackson
The next phase of the Mini Museum will display
a collection of art from Jackson native, Fred O. Jones.
Mr. Jones graduated from SEMO in 1966 with a
degree in education. With pure joy, he taught art in the Jackson schools for almost twenty years.
After teaching, he joined the school administration
until retirement.
The art is a tangible representative of his family's experiences. The nature pieces will be labeled according to the location of the scene. Most selections will also be accompanied by a photograph of the actual scene, and may have snapshot of the the family, too.
Paintings will be on display March 4th-16th.

Staff Picks:

"Bohemian Rhapsody

"Darkest Hour with Gary Oldman"-
"I have long been a fan of Winston Churchill. However, as I watched the movie, it appeared that I was the only one who liked him. It helped that I knew the outcome and his contemporaries did not. This was the story of his first gig as Prime Minister at a time when not everyone knew about the true nature of Hitler. Churchill did not come to the position with a good reputation as a leader. To add to his woes, he was stubborn and did not take compromise lightly. In his dismay, he turned to the public and asked them directly, one-on-one, what they wanted for the country. To a person, they responded that they still wanted to fight the Nazis. Thus, his famous speech, "We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing ground." Oldman convincingly captured Churchill's face and voice, so as an audience, I felt his conviction as if it were my ouwn country."-
Nancy, Jackson Branch
