The Delta Means Change: Endangered Stories<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

The primary purpose of the project has been to preserve history told by those who lived it.\u00a0 Participants in Sharkey and Issaquena counties who live in or have lived in Sharkey and\/or Issaquena counties for a significant period of time and have witnessed change in the Delta are represented by the list located to the right.<\/p>\n

The ultimate impact of this project is to offer the community, researchers, and future generations a robust collection of reliable, primary source transcripts which archive life in Sharkey and Issaquena counties, over a spectrum of 80 years.\u00a0 The time to collect, preserve and share these endangered stories has arrived.\u00a0 Project directors and volunteers wish to thank each participant for sharing his\/her life stories in such a meaningful way.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][image_with_animation image_url=”9459″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”small_depth” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n
