Students from St. Andrews Episcopal School in Jackson tour the Mississippi Delta

CLEVELAND - The Delta State University Delta Center for Culture and Learning recently provided a heritage tour to a group of students from Scotland, Japan, and Mississippi, all of whom are studying at the St. Andrews Episcopal School in Jackson. The group was organized by Chris Harth, of St. Andrews (far left), and guided by Delta State’s Luther Brown (far right). St. Andrews promotes "Glocal" approaches to learning. Glocal is a word that combines globalism and localism, and it means to think locally and act globally. 

Mississippi Blues Trail & The Grammy Awards

Mississippi blues, country, gospel, soul and rock 'n' roll artists are at the center of American popular music and that legacy is apparent in the number of Mississippians who have been recognized by The Recording Academy® with GRAMMY® Awards, GRAMMY Hall Of Fame inductions and Lifetime Achievement Awards. On Thursday, February 10, this year’s “Mississippi Music Celebration at the GRAMMY Museum” at L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles will celebrate that unparalleled musical legacy and specifically honor Mississippi’s pivotal role in the establishment of blues music and that genre’s influence across the music industry. The event is part of GRAMMY Week, a preamble to the GRAMMY Awards ceremony scheduled on Sunday, February 13.
On February 10 at 5 p.m., a Mississippi Blues Trail Marker will be unveiled at the GRAMMY Museum and L.A. Live sidewalk.
