The Mississippi Delta Hot Tamale Trail is the recipient of the 2006 Elbert R. Hilliard Award for Outstanding Oral History Project, which is awarded by the Mississippi Historical Society. From their website: "The oral history award recognizes as merited oral history projects exemplifying a distinguished collection, high-quality preservation, and proper use of oral history."
Thank you to everyone who has supported this project that documents the history, tradition and culture of hot tamales in the Mississippi Delta. Most of all, thank you to the tamale makers and vendors who have shared their stories.
Look for more interviews to appear online this summer.
The SFA received the same award in 2005 for their Doe's Eat Place Oral History Project.
