Cruising the Mississippi River offers a unique way to experience American history, and during our journey aboard the Viking Mississippi, we stopped in Vicksburg, Mississippi, to explore one of the most important Civil War sites in the country: Vicksburg National Military Park. One of the most unique things about Viking is the amount of historical information they provide for each port of call. The ships always have guest lecturers who give guests a perspective on the history of the area.

GALLERY – The Mississippi Poor People’s Campaign and Black Voters Matter joined forces for a March to the Polls in downtown Jackson to raise awareness about in-person absentee voting and encourage voter participation
On Oct. 8th, The Mississippi Poor People’s Campaign and Black Voters Matter joined forces for a March to the Polls in downtown Jackson to raise awareness about in-person absentee voting and encourage voter participation. Participants marched to the Hinds County Courthouse at 407 E. Pascagoula St., where they visited the Hinds County Circuit Clerk’s Office to learn about absentee voting eligibility and procedures. The event was part of a broader voter engagement effort focused on educating Mississippians about their voting options ahead of the November 2026 elections. Organizers also emphasized the importance of participation in decisions affecting communities and residents’ livelihoods. The march included community outreach efforts aimed at helping eligible voters understand the absentee voting process. Mississippi has specific eligibility requirements for absentee voting, including circumstances involving age, work obligations and plans to be away on Election Day. The event was connected to the Love Forward Together initiative, led by Repairers of the Breach President Bishop William J. Barber II, which coordinates voter mobilization efforts through marches, phone banking, text messaging and door-to-door outreach. (Advocate Photos: Joshua Martin)
