“Our 2022 theme for Humanities Camp is ‘Understanding Mississippi to Write the Future,’ and we hope our 24 school-nominated scholars will develop, nurture and apply their critical- and creative-thinking skills while being introduced to a variety of humanities topics presented by experts in their fields,” said L.
