Eye Opening

A truly powerful story laid out in a very easy to navigate manner

Impressive and informative

Accessible to a range of users, this app simulated the joy of historical discovery, offering multiple points of view about this important historical moment in the history of the civil rights movement.

Valuable

Sure wish I’d known about this app a week ago when I was in the Delta because finding the markers and following the story is not easy. As the app points out, parts of the story have been ignored in favor of telling the Tallahatchie County part it; this app takes us further.
