The Crossroads Economic Partnership and the Coahoma County Higher Education Center will present a talk and book signing by Jere Nash at the Cutrer House on Thursday, October 30, at 5:00p.m. Jere will talk about his latest book, Reconstruction in Mississippi 1862-1877. This is important because the Reconstruction Period in Mississippi (and the rest of the US) is one of the least understood and most poorly taught periods in American and Mississippi history. Jere’s painstaking research sheds light on this period, the ending of which resulted in the “separate but equal” period, codified the “Lost Cause” theory, and resulted in the creation of a social order that wasn’t legally changed until the Civil Rights Act of 1964. I would ask kindly that you invite anyone you think would be interested in this important subject. We would like to have a packed house for this singular event.

Jere was born and raised in Greenville, Mississippi. Following graduation from college, he worked in Washington and returned to Mississippi to work as Ray Mabus’ Chief of Staff when he was State Auditor. Jere later managed Mabus’ successful gubernatorial campaign in 1987, and served for 4 years as Chief of Staff and Director of Policy. Jere later worked as one of Mississippi’s most effective and successful political consultants. He is co-author of three books, Mississippi Politics: The Struggle for Power, 1976-2008, Mississippi Fried Politics: Tall Tales from the Back Rooms, and America’s Great Storm: Leading through Hurricane Katrina.
