The Porter L. Fortune, Jr., History Symposium began
as an annual conference on southern history in 1975.
In 1983, it was named for Porter L. Fortune, Jr., chancellor
emeritus, to honor his contributions to the success
of the symposium. Past events have examined topics
such as the southern political tradition, childhood,
religion, and the role of gender in shaping public power.
The conference is held every year in early October on
the campus of the University of Mississippi. It
is a three day event that is free of charge and open
to the general public.
