The campers are pictured in front of the old Bryant store in Money, Mississippi, north of Greenwood.  Fourteen year old Emmett Till supposedly whistled at Carolyn Bryant in this store in August of 1955, and his subsequent murder is widely viewed as one of the events that sparked the Civil Rights Movement.  Pictured with the students are Art Coordinator Pat Brown (far left) and Delta Center Program Coordinator Lee Aylward (in white).  <\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The program was funded by the Institutions of Higher Learning, and was a residential camp for rising eighth graders. LaKendra Jones coordinated the camp for the Delta Center. <\/span><\/div>\n
