The National Endowment for the Humanities awarded $460,000 to the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale to help expand its exhibits. The funds were used to support the museum’s expansion of exhibits that focus on musicians who have had an influence on “societal changes,” according The Local Voice, a biweekly newspaper distributed in Oxford and Water Valley, Lafayette County and Yalobusha County. This grant will also allow for the hiring of a staff member for two years._x000D
