History Is Lunch: Phil Bryant, Deborah Bryant, and Bill Wilson, “The Mississippi Governor’s Mansion
On January 15, 2020, former Mississippi governor Phil Bryant, former first lady Deborah Bryant, and artist Bill Wilson presented “The Mississippi Governor’s Mansion: Memories of the People’s Home.”
The Mississippi Governor’s Mansion is the second-oldest continuously occupied governor’s residence in the United States. It has been home to Mississippi’s governors since 1842. The mansion is both a public building open for tours and the private residence of the governor and his family.
The trio discussed the new book The Mississippi Governor’s Mansion: Memories of the People’s Home, which is filled with images and stories about the site. Governor Bryant’s text conveys his respect for the office he holds as well as his appreciation for the National Historic Landmark property. Governor Bryant pays tribute to former governors, their families, and the many public servants who have dedicated their lives to taking care of the Greek Revival masterpiece.
More than sixty watercolors by Bill Wilson accompany the governor’s stories. The paintings focus on the site’s beauty, furnishings, and restored historic grounds. The volume also features a foreword by First Lady Deborah Bryant.
“Elise and I are so pleased that Governor Bryant has produced such a lovely and enlightening book about the Mississippi Governor’s Mansion, giving us all a glimpse into his time in the state’s official executive residence,” wrote former Mississippi governor William F. Winter. “As First Lady Deborah Bryant states, ‘We made more precious memories in the house than we can count.’”
Phil Bryant is the sixty-fourth governor of Mississippi. Previously he served as lieutenant governor and state auditor and as a member of the state legislature. He is a former law enforcement officer and adjunct professor of American government at Mississippi College.
Deborah Bryant is first lady of Mississippi. She is the director of community development for Community Bank and formerly worked in quality and performance improvement at St. Dominic Hospital in Jackson.
Bill Wilson‘s portraits hang in the Mississippi Supreme Court Building, law offices, banks, and homes throughout the capital city. He spent three years as artist-in-residence at the Mississippi Governor’s Mansion.
History Is Lunch is a weekly lecture series of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History that explores different aspects of the state's past. The hour-long programs are held in the Craig H. Neilsen Auditorium of the Museum of Mississippi History and Mississippi Civil Rights Museum building in Jackson. MDAH livestreams videos of the program at noon on Wednesdays on their Facebook page,

Brief History of the Mississippi Capitol
The Mississippi State Capitol has been the seat of the state’s government since 1903. The building is located on the site of the old state penitentiary and was designed by Theodore Link, an architect from St. Louis, Missouri. Construction cost more than $1 million, which was funded by back taxes from a lawsuit settlement with the Illinois Central Railroad.
The State Capitol is the third capitol building constructed in Jackson. The first building was completed in 1822 and no longer stands. The second building was completed in 1839, served as the Capitol until 1903, and today is the Old Capitol Museum. Upon the Capitol’s dedication in 1903, Governor A.H. Longino said of the new building, “... give to the people a Capitol building which shall be a reflex of the State’s public spirit, pride and integrity.”
The Beaux Arts-style building was designed to house all branches of Mississippi state government. Currently, only the Legislature, the ceremonial office of the Governor, and an office of the Secretary of State operate in the Capitol.
The Capitol has a width of 402 feet, and the dome has a height of 180 feet. The interior Rotunda dome contains 750 lights which illuminate the blind-folded lady representing “Blind Justice” and four figures that played a role in Mississippi history: two Native Americans, a European explorer and a Confederate soldier. An eagle adorns the top of the central dome and is made of copper coated with gold leaf. The eagle is 8-feet high and 15-feet wide.
The Hall of Governors is located on the first floor. Portraits of the state’s governors since the creation of the Mississippi Territory in 1798 are on display. The former State Library and the former Supreme Court chambers, now both committee meeting rooms, are located on the second floor. The Legislature is housed on the third floor, along with the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Speaker of the House.
The capitol grounds contain one of the 55 replicas of the original Liberty Bell and a Women of the Confederacy monument, dedicated in June 1912, to honor the wives, daughters, sisters and mothers of Confederate soldiers. A variety of trees surround the Capitol, including the Magnolia (the official state tree and flower), a Japanese magnolia and cherry trees. The battleship figurehead is from the second USS Mississippi. The ship was sold to Greece in 1914, but the figurehead was presented to Mississippi by the U.S. Navy in December 1909.
The Mississippi State Capitol is designated a Mississippi Landmark and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. A four-year, $19 million restoration completed in 1983 helped to preserve and maintain the original features of the building.

“Mississippi Is Failing”: As Prisoner Deaths Reach 13 in August Alone, Advocates Demand Answers
- Prisoners are dying at the highest rates the state of Mississippi has ever seen. Thirteen prisoners have died behind bars in the month of August alone. That’s compared to 47 prisoner deaths in Mississippi in the entire year of 2015. Prison officials insist the deaths are by natural causes. But advocates and family members are demanding answers for the shocking spike in prisoner deaths, including the killing of 24 year-old Nija Syvallus Bonhomme at the privately run Wilkinson County Correctional Center in southwestern Mississippi. Bonhomme died in his cell after what officials say was a fight with another prisoner. But his family says that the prison failed to protect him from violent conditions that led to his death, allowing him to return to his cell after a violent altercation with his cellmate. His sister told Democracy Now!, “They threw him back to the dogs.” We speak with Jody Owens, director and managing attorney of the Mississippi office of the Southern Poverty Law Center, part of a recent lawsuit against the Mississippi Department of Corrections alleging grave abuses of prisoner rights at a private prison.

Jackson: Mississippi State Capitol
The Mississippi State Capitol in Jackson originally housed all three forms of government Legislative, Judicial, and Executive. The judicial branch is housed in the Gartin Justice Building across High Street. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, and designated a Mississippi Landmark in 1986 and a National Historic Landmark in 2016.
The Mississippi State Capitol has been the home of Mississippi's state legislature since 1903. It is the third capitol building in Jackson.
The walls of the rotunda are Italian white marble with a base of New York jet-black marble. The eight large columns are a type of art marble known as scagliola. The dome interior contains 750 lights which illuminate the blindfolded female figure representing Blind Justice and four scenes: two Indians, a Spanish explorer and a Confederate general. Balustrades are cast iron and original to the building.
An 8-foot-tall (2.4 m), 15-foot-wide (4.6 m) eagle soars above the dome, made of solid copper and gilded with gold leaf.
In 1979, it had a complete renovation, which cost $19 million. The renovation attempted to maintain the original design whenever practical. It was completed in 1983.
The Hall of Governors is located on the first floor. Portraits of Mississippi's governors since the creation of the Mississippi Territory in 1798 are on display. The State Library and the Supreme Court chamber, now both committee meeting rooms, are located on the second floor. The Legislature is housed on the third floor, along with the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Speaker of the House's offices. Public viewing balconies for both chambers are located on the fourth floor.
The Senate Chamber has seats for the 52 Senators. The Chamber is art marble with the base of Belgium black marble. Its columns are Breccia violet with corinthian composite caps. Its dome is stained Bohemian glass with another dome on top for protection. In the center of the dome is a green circle of printing that reads, The people's government made for the people by the people and answerable to the people. An image of Theresa Whitecloud, a full-blooded Choctaw Indian princess (died 1970), is on six wooden panels. The Chamber desks were replaced in the 1940s.
The House of Representatives Chamber has seats for the 122 Representatives, including the speaker, the chamber's presiding officer. The Chamber dome is the original Bohemian stained glass with another dome on top for protection of the stained glass. Desks are the originals of 1903. The Mississippi Coat of Arms is at the top of each arch. The walls are art marble and their base is Belgian black marble.
One of the 53 replicas of the original Liberty Bell, as well as a statue erected in memory of the ladies, mothers, sisters, wives and daughters of the Confederate soldiers is located on the capitol grounds. Among the trees on the grounds are the state tree, the magnolia tree, along with two Japanese magnolia trees and small patches of miniature Aspen have been seen growing. Also on the grounds is the figurehead from the second USS Mississippi battleship. The ship was sold to the government of Greece during 1914 but the figurehead was presented to Mississippi by the United States Navy in December 1909.
The Capitol appears briefly in the movie The Help.

04-04-2016 Protest of Mississippi's Discriminatory HB 1523 at the Governor's Mansion in Jackson, MS
April 4, 2016: A group of us from the Mississippi Gulf Coast traveled by bus to Jackson, MS, to protest HB 1523, one of the most far-reaching hate bills ever devised. We met other activists in front of the Governor's Mansion to demand that Governor Phil Bryant NOT sign HB 1523 into law. HRC Mississippi provided the bus and organized the event, inviting spokespersons from other activist organizations to speak as well, including the ACLU of Mississippi and Planned Parenthood. I got as much footage as I could before my phone died and maxed out the storage (it's an old phone). The protest was an amazing experience. I hope all of you will stand up against bad legislation in your areas as well.
I wrote about the bill here:
