Day 1
We will leave the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis and drive everyone down into the Delta! Once in the Delta our route will take us through some of the most intense Civil Rights history in America including areas important to the Emmett Till tragedy, the life of Fannie Lou Hamer, and other sites related to Delta Blues and American music.
