Spreading the Word about the Delta's Heritage

CLEVELAND, Miss. -- The Delta Center for Culture and Learning at Delta State University recently provided a heritage tour for Teach For America recruits and Robertson Scholars.  The tour stopped at Dockery Farms, Fannie Lou Hamer’s grave, historic Mound Bayou, and Po’ Monkey’s Lounge, among other places.  Participants included Teach For America staff members and new teachers, as well as ten Robertson Scholars from Duke and the University of North Carolina.  It was led by Luther Brown and Lee Aylward of the Delta Center.  The Delta Center is currently the manager of the Mississippi Delta National Heritage Area.
