Clarksdale, Mississippi is in the headlines again, this time in Smithsonian Magazine! In celebration of America's 250th Birthday, the magazine released its list of "250 Places to Celebrate America," and the Delta Blues Museum was named!. Congrats to Director Shelley Ritter and the entire Delta Blues Museum team on this well deserved recognition! Happy 250, America! (More in the comments).
