MISSISSIPPI BORN DELTA RAISED: Conversations about the people, the culture, and the challenges facing the MS Delta

Society & Culture


In this episode, I wanted to share with listeners why I decided to start this podcast.  I wanted to explain my family's deep roots in the Delta and why the area is so important to me.  Like many of you, I have traveled and lived in various places throughout the country.  But, there is something about the Mississippi Delta. When I cross the Mississippi River Bridge from Lake Village, Arkansas to Greenville, I feel an inexplicable sense of relief.  It’s as if a weight lifts from my shoulders and I can breathe deeply again when I see that sign that says, ‘Welcome to Mississippi.’
