Film Screening & Costume Contest: "The Soul of All America"
2026-10-26 18:00 - 20:00 | Nissan Auditorium (Inside Parkinson Hall)
Mississippi University for Women presents “The Soul of All America,” the fifth episode from the new Ken Burns documentary, The American Revolution, but this time, we’re dressing up for Halloween! Come in your most authentic Revolutionary garb; the best-dressed patriot will win a prize!
The fifth episode covers the period from December 1777 through May 1780. George Washington and the Continental Army spend the winter at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. Conditions are horrible. Many soldiers are sick, clothing is scarce, and men go for days with barely any food. People die, and as morale plummets, other men simply go home. There is talk of mutiny. Slowly, Washington turns things around, but the French-American alliance changes the war and moves it to other theaters: the sea, in Indian Country, and in the South. Navies battle off England and in the Caribbean, while armies advance in Indian Country and the South; the British take Charleston. Learn more about the episode, the key players, and critical documents at PBS.
​The entire documentary is 6 episodes total with each episode running approximately 2 hours in length. The W is showing all episodes throughout 2026.
​Admission is free and open to the public.​
