So many memories.. I'm young and from Florida and graduated from MVSU 2012 in Itta Bena. Growing up in Florida they never taught us this history but I learned very quickly during my college years and 8 yrs living in the Delta. So much history I wish the world could see. I have so many stories about the catfish capital of the world Belzoni, Parchman Prison, Emmit T memorial, Mrs Fannie Lou (Ruleville, Ms) even the football legends Mannings growing up in (Drew, Ms), the MS burning, I even learned the TRUE definition of "cross the tracks". I have much much more that ive learned. I've been to many places in the US and this is history is definitely overlooked or almost like a secret. Great video!
Very grateful for this series and the posting here in youtube...I suspect the number of "thumbs down" folks compared to the rest of us made their judgment with a racist purpose as opposed to much of the actual content of this nice series? Racism is NOT something any of us is born with...it must be taught...and since none of us really knows the color of our Creator, it would be foolish to disrespect anybody...based on their race.
Tamales were an Indian dish. Choctaws, Chickasaws, Caddoes, and I've heard even the Cherokees made tamales. If a Mexican introduced tamales to Mississippi it was that Aztec trader that was trading with those tribes and who introduced the Mississippian culture to the American Southeast long before the Europeans ever got here.
Loved this documentary, the narrator is also excellent. This is my first insight into the deep south. How rich is the river banks of the Mississipi river? I wonder why many of the towns and the life of its residents not changed as it should be tho.
My black brothers and sisters have had some very trying times in the usa both physically and mentally all because of slavery and sadly after so many generations of marginalization and victimization the struggle still continues on to today
😢 Dear black brothers and sisters in America, our brothers in the brown community (especially South Asians like Indian, Pakistani and Nepali people) are also still facing horrible racial discrimination in Hong Kong just because we have darker skin (even for generations South Asians have been contributing to Hong Kong society)
Despite its racist past Mississippi does have an amazing musical heritage especially blues music, and u can find some beautiful landscape if you’re not careful.

They didn't really research the cotton industry. In the early days of cotton growing the gin was a piece of equipment that each plantation needed, The cotton would be picked, ginned and pressed into bales. The bales would be loaded on wagons and taken to either to the port on the plantation where it would be sent to New Orleans for sale or to the cotton factors in a near by town that would buy and ship it to New Orleans, Rather than wagons and steamboats what plantations have today are fleets of tractor trailer rigs. So instead of having to keep, and maintain equipment, and hire seasonal labor they put the cotton in these trailers and ship it over the highways to big gins like the one at Frogmore plantation between Jonesville and Ferriday where the cotton is ginned baled and sold. The gin handles the ginning baling and selling of cotton from many plantations. Rather than each plantation having a gin that works a short period each year on a limited amount of cotton, large gins work longer seasons ginning baling and selling huge amounts of cotton. The gin is a business and not just a part of the individual farm process leading to a much more efficient system of processing and marketing.

@@seadog915 not everyone nor even most, but genetic studies do show it is indeed very common for vanilla in the Deep South to have a little (or more then a little) "hidden" chocolate!
Black people didn't only live in the Delta of Mississippi. They live and lived all over Mississippi. And canoes have been out way before this young man even thought about having a business in Mississippi. And the blues in Mississippi and other parts of the south are songs of black slaves and there off springs struggles coming up in the deep South and other parts of America.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@rashadharris4700 Southern Memphis suburbs are in Mississippi but Memphis and most of it's metropolitan area are in Tennessee and one county is in Arkansas.
I was a 4th generation cotton farmer. We never had child labor. The term, pickaninny, came from farm owners coming to the field and asking the child’s mother, “He picking any?” 🙀🙀🙀
But there are "Bad People" in all "Colors" of peoples!!! It's what you are taught growing up. But, there are some souls that would listen to the "side of the devil" no matter the "good" that was taught.
Well, somebody's gotta pay for all this work.. Necessary evil i'd say... Just try to grin and bear them - plus you've only gotta watch the first 6 seconds or so.
I love Queretaro. USA too deadly and expensive. MOVE if problems where you live now. USA owes us $75K for relocation. Help Americans FIRST, with our money! I order groceries for home delivery. I have very kind families here. If you are on a pension, why live in a deadly city, and a city without clean water. MOVE! Safer and less expensive here, and I will be 80 in October.

Tamales its a Mexican recipe!!!! Sorry for that.
There's are differently in taste, sauce, and spices firm my Mexican Heritage ones.
Just heard the narrator say Mexican's taught the Blacks their way to make the tamales. BUT EVERY TOWN, NEIGHBOR, AND STATE IN MEXICO MAKES THEM DIFFERENTLY. OVER 200 YRS AGO.
The Mississippi temales were inspired by Mexican tamales but are uneque and from Mississippi.

OH FFS, NARRATOR....SPEAK UP! SHEEESH!
UFFFFF UGHHHHHHH
This guys voice has no business narrating a documentary about the delta. No soul, no charm and no timbre. Charter banking perhaps?
On the contrary, I thought the narrator gave great care to his task, and spoke precisely and beautifully.
A wonderful presentation.
