Day 7

Day 7:
Indianola, MS – Greenwood, MS – Money, MS – Jackson, MS



We continued our tour of the Delta today with various stops, including the store (now in complete disrepair) in Money, MS where 14 year old Emmett Till whistled/spoke/or in some way communicated with the store owner’s wife for which he was brutally killed and thrown in the nearby Tallahatchie river in the mid-1950s. After we arrived in Jackson (where the students immediately jumped in the hotel pool), we spent the evening at a cookout hosted by one of Brian's friends at the local reservoir.


Miles traveled today: 200
To date: 1400
