Learn about the impact of The Great Mississippi River Flood of 1927 during a fifteen-minute flash tour at the Two Mississippi Museums at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, April 22. Led by education staff at the Two Mississippi Museums, this tour will commemorate the ninety-eighth anniversary of the flood’s devastating impact. This natural disaster had a particularly devastating effect on Black Mississippians, many of whom lived as impoverished cotton tenants, sharecroppers, and plantation wage hands in the Mississippi Delta lowlands. The flood also spawned national political effects, surfacing as a major factor to The Great Migration that lasted from the early to mid-nineteenth century.
