#2016逛美国#-本周主打州：密西西比州。

密西西比三角洲承载着美国文化史上一个特殊的地方。蓝调、摇滚和乡村音乐都可以追根溯源到这个具有丰富文化底蕴的州。

密西西比州的景观也同样多姿多彩，这里有标志性的河流、广阔无垠的平原和低地、还有湿地和沼泽。最后，你的美国南部之旅不能没有美食的陪伴。

密西西比州以油炸鲶鱼、油炸绿西红柿和密西西比泥饼（Mississippi Mud Pie）而闻名。

密西西比州拥有悠久的历史，南北战争中一些最为血腥的战役以及民权运动中最具代表性的冲突都发生在这里。

来看看密西西比自由之路（Mississippi Freedom Trail），了解更多有关这些勇敢的活动家在“棉花州”为种族平等而斗争的故事。

有这么多景观和活动，你将从哪里开始呢？

#Traveling Around the U.S. –  State of the Week: Mississippi

The Mississippi Delta holds a special place in American cultural history. Blues, Rock & Roll, and Country music all trace their roots to this culturally rich state.

The landscape is equally diverse with its iconic river, large and endless plains and lowlands, as well as marshes and swamps. Finally, you can’t visit the South of the U.S. without taking a culinary tour.

Mississippi is famous for its fried catfish, fried green tomatoes, and Mississippi Mud Pie.

Mississippi is a state steeped in history, as the site of some of the Civil War’s’ bloodiest battles, and the Civil Rights Movement’s most iconic clashes.

Check out the Mississippi Freedom Trail to learn more about these brave activists’ fight for racial equality in the cotton state.

There’s so much to see and do, where will you start?
