Last Saturday, second-year Ashley Johnson and I showed Lauryn Smith, the fabulous MTC intern, around the Mississippi Delta. We toured Greenwood and Money and parts in between.
Money is the small town where Emmit Till was tortured and murdered (interestingly enough, Till's Wikipedia page has caused a heated debate). The store, where he committed the unpardonable crime of whistling at a white woman, is still standing (barely). Photos of the trip are below. More photos here...
