National Mississippi Day 2024
 |
Mississippi was the 20th admission to the United States of America and has had a profound effect on the music industry as well as historical relevance in the civil rights movement.
 |
The Mississippi Delta gave rise to the "Delta blues", a lot of country music, as well as rock and roll, jazz, and gospel musical genres.
The state is named for the Mississippi River which flows through its western border.
When I was a kid the word 'Mississippi' was one of the first ones I learned to spell. Seems like it was a feature of all the spelling bees in my elementary school days.
Despite all this illustrious value to the nation my biggest attraction to the entire state are my dear cousins the Gores from Hattiesburg.
Happy National Mississippi Day for whatever your personal attraction may be !
