A Vicksburg native and co-director of the city’s only African American history and culture museum, The Jacqueline House, community partner liaison Yolande Robbins single-handedly planned five full days of interviews for the Griot D2D team’s visit.

THANK YOU MS. YOLANDE!!!

Griot Door-to-Door’s first stop in Ole’ Miss was Vicksburg. The Confederate flag greets you as you enter this historic Civil War city. With generous help from Ms. Yolande Robbins (center), founder of The Jacqueline House, we fearlessly forged ahead – collecting many stories and histories from this slowly evolving town.
