Spirits of the Mississippi River
By: Donyail Linsey
Spirits of the Mississippi River can be summarized into three topics: greed, the Blues, and the supernatural. In the 50's era, the Delta blues is becoming the thing of the past and at this moment gives birth to a new genre of music: rock-'n-roll. Every decade of man's existence, a new form of music always seems to emerge. This play, written about the deep history of Mississippi and its rich principles, lets the reader grasp hold of the dark memories of the past and rewrite the wrong.
