Abstract

With ancestral Blues legends guiding his guitar strums, Terry “Big T” Williams is committed to more than the success of being a Delta Blues musician. Williams illustrates that the Blues is deeper than a constant state of heartbreak, pain, or struggle, and can be used as an effective method to uplift one’s community and its residents.

Jai Williams is a dual degree graduate student and southern photographer currently based in Mississippi. Previously a Nathalie Dupree and currently a Fullerton and Academic Excellence Fellow, her focus touches upon the erasure and reclamation of Black land ownership, the impact of environmental injustices on Black communities, in addition to, the spiritual connection of Black people within the southern landscape.
