Telling Our Mississippi Story

Beginning with the creation of the National Endowments for the Humanities and the Arts in the 1960’s, Mississippi has crafted and collectively agreed and set about telling our STORY.  From the Hurricane Katrina recovery in 2005, to the development of the Blues, Country, Freedom and Writers Trails and the success with the Two MS Museums, The B.B. King Museum, The MS Grammy Museum, The MAX and Marty Stuart’s New Congress of Country Music, we have found our voice and our most valuable asset, our arts, culture, history and STORY.
