Motivational speaker, historian, and women's activist, Pamela D.C. Junior was previously the Director of the Two Mississippi Museums in Jackson, Mississippi. As the former manager of Smith Robertson Museum and Cultural Center, Pamela fought tirelessly to make the Museum a first-class place of interpretation, bringing the Museum from financial struggles to features across the nation, most notably, one of CNN's " 50 States, 50 Spots". After seventeen years of service at Smith Robertson, Pamela became the inaugural director of the first state-sponsored civil rights museum in the nation, the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum. After two years of serving in this capacity, Pamela was promoted to director of the Two Mississippi Museums. Here she continued her diligent work to share the stories of Mississippi with audiences from all over the world.
She believes the stories told in the Museum of Mississippi History and the Mississippi Civil Rights Museums should be used as educational tools for all persons. In her words, " Your history is a connector to your past- seek out who you are, seek out history. Soak in the knowledge of the ancestors, marinate in their wisdom - come out awakened by the epiphanies, come out smarter, come out whole!"
