Kristin contributed some photos that she shot during the week. They will provide a different perspective of the week.

I am decidedly not a morning person, but Kristin is, so she got this beautiful sunrise picture because she was the only one up early enough to see it.

She also got this one of the sunset. Nice wide agle shot.

Here are pics of the Sumner courthouse where the Emmett Till trial was held. The courthouse is still in use until they finish building a new one, at which time it will be operated by the National Park Service. The courtroom is basically unchanged since the Till trial.

Here are some pictures of the crew and family at work.

I am not sure exactly what is going on here, but it is near the railroad tracks that run through Tutwiler, though the trains rarely come through town now.

Tutwiler was at one point, if not a booming town, at least a bigger and more active one. The story is that W.C. Handy discovered the blues while sitting in the Tutwiler depot waiting for a train and listening to an old man play a guitar while running a bottle neck up and down the strings. He was singing about where the Southern crosses the dog, referring to where the Southern Railroad crossed the Yazoo and Delta, known informally as the Yellow Dog. There are pictures in the community center of Tutwiler in its heyday and some of the buildings from that era are still standing – barely. The interiors have mostly fallen in.

I already posted a version of this picture, but this one is better.
