\"Mississippi<\/h3>\n

The Mississippi Delta, also known as the Yazoo-Mississippi Delta, is the distinctive northwest section of the U.S. state of Mississippi which lies between the Mississippi and Yazoo Rivers. The region has been called “The Most Southern Place on Earth” because of its unique racial, cultural, and economic history.<\/p>\n

What Country Taught Me About Race<\/h3>\n

By Jessica Nabongo \u2014 Afar<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I’m often asked what I consider the safest countries for black people or the most welcoming for black travelers. But I can’t answer those questions. I\u2019ve been traveling internationally since I was four years old. For my Ugandan immigrant parents, vacationing was important \u2014 a way to learn more about the world through experience \u2014 and they made it part of our lives every year. Whether domestic or international, we went somewhere every summer: Canada, Minnesota, Jamaica, Disney World, the Bahamas. By the time I graduated from high school, I had been to seven U.N. member countries, and in 2008, I moved to Japan to teach English. From there, I continued living abroad, and continued traveling. And in February 2017, with 60 countries under my belt, I started a two-and-a-half-year journey to visit every country in the world<\/p>\nMORE<\/a><\/span>\n

What the Mississippi Delta Teaches Me About Home \u2014 And Hope<\/h3>\n

Finding struggle and resilience on a road trip through the birthplace of the blues. I’ve thought a lot about home during the quarantine. The place and the idea. The way it calls to us, and the way the pulse of daily life can sometimes drown it out. My home is near the courthouse square in Oxford, Mississippi, a vibrant modern college community. That\u2019s where we wake up and make scrambled eggs for our toddler. But I\u2019m from a nearby place called Clarksdale, birthplace of the Delta blues, the town that gave the world the likes of Muddy Waters, Sam Cooke, and Nate Dogg\u2014a place where on a clear night I can hear plantation blues, the protest soul of Stax Records, and the heavy sound of G-Funk LA all mix in the open air.<\/p>\nMORE<\/a><\/span>\n

How A Recent Trip To Montgomery Made Me Rethink The Deep South<\/h3>\n

\u201cHistory, despite its wrenching pain cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage need not be lived again.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I spotted the reflection-inducing words by the late Maya Angelou just moments before entering the lobby of Montgomery\u2019s Springhill Suites Hotel. They adorned a nondescript wall at the corner of Coosa and Bibb, which was steps outside of my temporary retreat. Now I\u2019ve always been more Manhattan than Montgomery, slightly more Malcolm than Martin, with more northeastern edge than southern charm. But there I was, just days before the Christmas holiday, excited, and yet nervous, to be in what I considered the epicenter of Black history.<\/p>\nMORE<\/a><\/span>\n

A Native American community severely impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak has received an outpour of donations from Irish people, who are returning a historic favor from 173 years ago.<\/p>\n

In 1847, the Native American Choctaw nation sent $170 ($5,000 today) of relief aid to the Irish people impacted by the great potato famine. Now, the Irish are reciprocating the act of goodwill by donating funds to the Navajo nation, which has been severely impacted by COVID-19, with at least 2,373 cases and 73 deaths as of May 3.<\/p>\n

\"John<\/p>\n

Profiles in Courage<\/em> is a 1956 volume of short biographies describing acts of bravery and integrity by eight United States Senators under enormous pressure from their parties and their constituents. Written by then-Senator John F. Kennedy, who won the Pulitzer Prize for the work. The staff at Traveling Boy suggests that Utah Republican Senator Mitt Romney might fit the bill as a Profile in Courage<\/em> due to his recent vote to convict fellow Republican Donald Trump in the Senate Impeachment trial. He was unable to stand in line with other Republic Senators as a result of his deeply-felt oath of office, the US Constitution and personal relationship with God.<\/p>\n

The subjects of Profiles in Courage<\/em> are John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, Thomas Hart Benton, Sam Houston, Edmund G. Ross, Lucius Lamar, George Norris, and Robert A. Taft.<\/p>\nEach chapter from the book is summarized here<\/a><\/span>\n

Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking<\/h3>\n

Walt Whitman<\/a> \u2014 1819-1892<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Out of the cradle endlessly rocking,
\nOut of the mocking-bird’s throat, the musical shuttle,
\nOut of the Ninth-month midnight,
\nOver the sterile sands and the fields beyond, where the child leaving his bed wander’d alone, bareheaded, barefoot,
\nDown from the shower’d halo,
\nUp from the mystic play of shadows twining and twisting as if they were alive,
\nOut from the patches of briers and blackberries,
\nFrom the memories of the bird that chanted to me,
\nFrom your memories sad brother, from the fitful risings and fallings I heard,
\nFrom under that yellow half-moon late-risen and swollen as if with tears,
\nFrom those beginning notes of yearning and love there in the mist,
\nFrom the thousand responses of my heart never to cease…<\/p>\n

As a descendant of both Leif Ericson and Christopher Columbus, the Amer-Norsk-Italian Boitano quite literally has a passion for travel to unexplored locations in his blood. He has traveled to over 56 nations, including Antarctica and the Arctic Circle, as well as lived with a nomadic Basque shepherd family outside of Bakersfield, California for six hours. He brings to Traveling Boy a love of all forms of travel, and a disdain for any lamb food products.","url":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/author\/ed\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17696","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17696"}],"version-history":[{"count":27,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17696\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20760,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17696\/revisions\/20760"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17928"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
