Jackson Mississippi

Jackson Mississippi

Jackson Mississippi is the state's capital and a center for blues, barbecue and most of all, civil rights. We visited Jackson in April and got a chance to visit the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum, the Mississippi History Museum and the large art museum. We toured the home and learned a lot about the famous author and Pulitzer prize winner Eudora Welty, who lived in Jackson. We also explored the history of voter's rights, segregation and the Jim Crow era and how so many people, both black and white, resisted the laws and finally created change. The city is in some ways down on its luck, with high crime and a water problem, but there are great blues clubs, some really tasty BBQ and a friendly vibe that made our trip memorable. Jackson, the City with Soul.
