The Delta Blues Education
Fund: was founded
in November, 1992 with the mission statement "to bring together the children
and master musicians of the Mississippi Delta for the continuation of the
Delta Blues tradition." Approximately eighty-seven percent of its budget
is used to pay master Delta Blues artists (and for direct support materials
such as musical instruments). Ninety-five percent of the DBEP's apprentices
are Black, and most have Native American heritage. Most come from impoverished
families, and are between the ages of 9 and 15. Many of the best apprentices
are considered "at risk" children in the local school systems. The Delta
Community served by the DBEP is sixty-five percent African-American, and
predominately rural/agricultural based. |
