Hillary Rhodes '02, currently a reporter at the Associated Press in New York City, recently returned from two and a half weeks in the Mississippi Delta, where she was working on a story about blues music. Rhodes' three-part series, "Juke Joint Journey," recently appeared in the AP's entertainment section. Rhodes visits Mississippi blues bars, interviewing old blues veterans and aspiring young hopefuls in her piece on the past -- and future -- of the genre.
