| For some fascinating reading put Mississippi Sovereignty Commission in your Google window. The commission was a state agency established to thwart the Civil Rights Movement. Somehow their records survived and are now available online and are searchable. I started my search of their records with "Jackson, Nellie" and discovered that the commission's agents recorded the license plate numbers of Nellie's visitors. They were also much concerned with a washateria used by both whites and blacks and with a white tire store owner with the audacity to shake hands with his black customers. |

| "Cat Head Delta Blues and Folk Art is a one-of-a-kind store in a one-of-a-kind place. A store where colorful cow bone chairs relax next to the baddest blues CDs "T-Model" Ford can burn... Where photos of old blues players and places hang near warped faces made out of old metal pots. It's the kind of store that could only exist in the Mississippi Delta. The land where blues began." That's a quote from the Cat Head web site. Here's a quote from Junior: The variety of genuine Mississippi Delta folk art available in this brick and mortar store in downtown Clarksdale and on its web site is amazing. Check it out before some artsy-fartsy folks from New York City buy the entire inventory and offer it for resale at 4 times the present Cat Head prices. |
