They have been researched and presented on this site.

Their music may be blues, country, classical, gospel, rock ‘n’ roll, rhythm and blues, R & B, rap, or popular. In addition, well-known visual and graphic artists (whether they work with traditional media or are experimenting with new forms and materials) who live in Mississippi or have spent part of their lives in the state have been added as well as the Mississippians who listed under actors who act, dance, direct, or sing and have made a name for themselves in movies, television, and stage.
