The Black School Sites Council of Clarke County Mississippi (BSSCCCMS), a nonprofit organization, is seeking volunteers and committee members to help preserve the history and legacy of Black schools in Clarke County.
Every community has stories and landmarks that help define its history. BSSCCCMS is working to preserve those memories and document the legacy of Black schools in Clarke County.
The organization is seeking residents to assist with its efforts to preserve the history of local schools. Its goal is to erect historical markers that provide a record of the county’s educational heritage.
BSSCCCMS is seeking a team of community members committed to preserving this history for future generations.
Committee meetings are held at 10 a.m. on the third Saturday of each month at Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church in Quitman, Mississippi.
Those interested in working with the committee are invited to attend the next meeting on Oct. 17.
