Little Zion Church in The Mississippi Delta - the place where it's thought that the legendary blues singer, Robert Johnson is burried. It is said that Johnson sold his soul to the devil in exchange of his amazing talent. He was an influence for other famous blues singers such as Muddy Waters and Elmore James. I got the chance to visit the place during the spring roadtrip I took with Matt Eich in the Old South. This is definitely one of the places to be remembered. #road #zionchuch #mississippiblues #delta #everydaydelta #blues #littlezion #haunting #beauty #explore #documentary #rainy #places #history #music #blues (at Little Zion Church)

I met Jamarcus in the heart of the Mississippi Delta. He was just getting ready for his daily run, down an old dirt road, by the trailer where he and his family live. He was a couple of weeks from finishing high school and moving on with his life. 

Jamarcus: Running track changed my life more than anything.

BW: How did that change your life?

Jamarcus: I never knew I could do it and it turns out I’m pretty good at it. I just want to make it out of this small town and it’s looking like track is my way. I have a full ride scholarship to Valley and I joined the National Guard so they’ll pay me when I’m in school. I just want to get up outta here.
