Blues From The Delta classroom 13 but one that invites us

but one that invites us to go beyond the simplified Stonewall mythology and enter lesser-known battlefields in the struggle to carve out a territory

he must come forward to claim his inheritance

a welcome point of pride in a town that has had its share of hardships

there was Lee--Richard Henry Lee

Blues From The Delta classroom 13 but one that invites usWilliam Ferris, director of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi, has written a book as deep as the blues: rich in conversation, reference, history, and firsthand experience with blues musicians and the culture that informs the music. The poetry, games, house parties, religious and secular traditions of black life in the Delta are explored in living prose that is also a work of immense scholarship.
