We have ended the day in Louisiana, much of Louisiana's lands were formed from sediment washed down the Mississippi River, leaving enormous deltas and vast areas of coastal marsh and swamp. Half of the state is forest and they have green tree frogs.
Today we visited three museums in Mississippi. The state capitol Jackson is home to The museum of Mississippi History as well as the Civil Rights Museum in a combined building which is fully funded by the state. It was overwhelming, packed with stories, immersive and impactful. We spent most of the time in the Civil Rights Museum - you can read more here Mississippi Civil Rights Museum | Mississippi Civil Rights Museum (ms.gov)
The State Fair is also in full swing so TomTom of course wanted us to drive through it… Matt circumnavigated it and we travelled to Crystal Springs to pop into museum #3.
The photos I took, pale in comparison to what I read and learnt today. Most of us take the every day for granted, whilst generations of people suffered and had to fight to be equal. I am only adding this photo which changed colours in time with the song “this little light of mine”… click on the link to watch this pulse in Gallery #3 - This Little Light of Mine | Mississippi Civil Rights Museum (ms.gov)
