Mississippi Music, Literature & Culture (Our Gifts to The World)

Think about how bland life would be if it were not for the contributions that Mississippians have made.

Blues, Jazz, Rock & Roll & all the variants that grew from them have their roots in the fertile soil of the Delta. Our writers have formed words that touch the minds of all peoples across the planet regardless of language. Our Artists paint & shape the materials of our land to display their love of it. The actors born here entertain billions with their craft on both the big & little screens. Our athletes are champions in all sports. Our military soldiers & leaders have been key to keeping our country free.

Our history, despite dark periods, is an example of how good can triumph over evil and the inherent goodness of people when united and the beauty & signifigance of their crafts.

Please feel free to talk/discuss your favorite song/music/singer/band/book/writer/movie/actor/food/historical site/school/scientist/artist/actor etc, etc that is a product of the Great State Of Missisippi.

And no, you don't have to be a native to contribute. That wouldn't be representative of the place that is known as the "Hospitality State".

Have fun Yall...
