More than a few of my precious SF mem ories have come from attending the annual BAAITS (Bay Area Am erican Indian Two-Spirits) Powwow\, the largest gathering of LGBTQAI / Two-Spirit Native Americans. When it was held at SOMArts\, I loved popping in for the colorf ul pageantry\, sacred ceremony\, incredible dancing\, and Native American goods—don’t forget the loaded fry bread\, yum. It felt so good to be at a cultural gathering that celebrated and even revered non-gender conforming folks\, so very different from what’s going on in the rest of the world\, it seems.

\n
\n

Now the powwow\, whi ch is open to the public and streamed online\, is held at Fort Mason and B AAITS has a new executive director—Angel C. Fabian\, known in ceremonial s paces as Tlahuizpapalotl (Butterfly of Light). I can’t wait to see what th ey have in store. A press release quotes community advisor Amelia saying\, “This is a space for all of us to gather respectfully and celebrate Nativ e traditions. Whether you are African-American\, Native American\, White\, gay\, straight\, transgender\, whoever you are and wherever your roots or iginated\, come with curiosity and kindness and you will enjoy the company of 5\,000 like-minded good and connected people as we celebrate tradition s of music and art and togetherness.”

Spies of Missis sippi by director Dawn Porter is a journey into the chilling wo rld of anti-civil rights espionage\, the world of informants\, infiltrator s and agent provocateurs.                                                               

\n
Stoked by the fear of desegregation\, equa lity\, and wanting to maintain the “Mississippi way of life”\, the state f ormed the Mississippi Sovereignty Commission (MSSC) which operated from th e 195s to 1997.  
\n
 
\n
This operation t hrough a network of investigators\, informants and spies infiltrated some of the largest Black organizations like the NAACP and CORE (Congress of Ra cial Equality) involving over 87\,000 Americans in the course of a decade.  
\n

Spies of M ississippi brings to light the Commission’s hidden role in many of the most important chapters of the Civil Rights Movement including the integration of the University of Mississippi\, the killing of Medgar Ever s\, and the KKK murders of three civil rights workers in 1964.
