How America’s Richest Soil Became Its Poorest Land | Author W. Ralph Eubanks

How did the richest soil in America become its poorest land? In this episode, I sit down with acclaimed author and scholar W. Ralph Eubanks to discuss his powerful new book, When It’s Darkness on the Delta. We dive deep into the complex history of the Mississippi Delta, exploring the intersection of agriculture, race, and economics. Ralph shares his unique perspective on how a region defined by its natural abundance became a symbol of systemic struggle, and what that tells us about the broader American story. #eddrickshow #WRalphEubanks #MississippiDelta #SouthernHistory #AmericanSouth #BookInterview #OleMiss #HistoryDocumentary #SocialJustice #USHistory #Agriculture #AuthorsOfYouTube
