Yesterday I exchanged some interesting emails with Susan Klopfer, who, with her husband son Barry, will soon be publishing Uncivil Rights ... Where Rebels Roost .
Susan and Barry run The Middle of the Internet, a bookstore and information site on Civil Rights and the Delta Blues. It's one of those websites with lots of links that take you to other pages with still more links to all kinds of information, including primary documents from their book, which is a wide ranging history of Civil Rights in the Delta. The Middle of the Internet is well worth some of your time. Check it out. . .

Ben,
Greetings. I happened to Google myself today and this fine blog came up! Thanks for the kind words on http://themiddleoftheinternet.com
I do want to point out that it is my mother, Susan Klopfer, who runs http://themiddleoftheinternet.com
Peace!
Barry Klopfer

Oh, how embarassing. Sorry about that, Barry. Susan and I have exchanged a number of emails, but she never corrected me. Either she didn't notice my mistake or she was being very kind. In any case, it's a great site! I can't wait to read Uncivil Rights when it comes out.
