The video "Out of Africa: African Missionaries to the Mississippi Delta" is a
compact and highly original telling of key themes in the history of contemporary
Christianity, the growing importance of African Christianity and the growing
interconnectedness of evangelicals. I have recommended this video to my
colleagues teaching modern Christian history in a distance format, as the film
provides both a self-contained look at the subject and ample material for
discussion. It would also be useful in the classroom.
Used in course? Yes

This resource could be a valuable tool for exploring a "specific" aspect of Mississippi history. The site claims to include a 23 minute video which I never could find on the site. One of the problems with this resource includes a limited bibliography that doesn't include some of the most well know and accepted works in this area.
