This project brings together humanities scholars from various nationwide institutions whose function will be 1) to relate the historical and cultural impact of the river to the people of Natchez and Vicksburg Mississippi; Paducah, Kentucky; and Cincinnati, Ohio and to passenger- students aboard the historic steamboat Delta Queen, and 2) to engage in scholarly seminars with colleagues from the river region. These scholars will be joined by artists who will perform works of music, literature and drama within the theme.
