From the jazz-filled streets of New Orleans to Elvis’s Graceland and the story of civil rights, a journey through America’s Deep South blends rich history, iconic sounds and soulful charm with a depth of culture that’s often as moving as it is memorable.
New Orleans is a city like no other – a heady blend of French, Spanish, Creole and Southern styles. Mardi Gras, of course, boasts parades and pageantry but visit any time and you’ll be struck by the narrow, cobbled streets of the lively French Quarter, the sounds of jazz being played on street corners and the paddle steamers plying the Mississippi River. Beyond the ‘Big Easy’, Louisiana’s role in civil rights history is clear to see, especially when following the Civil Rights Trail through the likes of Baton Rouge.
In Mississippi, elegant Natchez is famed for its antebellum homes, while music lovers can follow in Elvis’s footsteps from his birthplace in Tupelo to his Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tennessee, a city also famed for the iconic Sun Studio and neon-lit Beale Street.
For a different kind of tune, continue to Nashville, home of country music and the Grand Ole Opry. Or make for Alabama to visit civil rights landmarks in Montgomery and Birmingham, the FAME recording studio and the Huntsville’s U.S. Space & Rocket Center.
