16.Blues historian and filmmaker Bill Ferris

<p>Photographer, filmmaker, author and historian Will Ferris started documenting black southern culture in the 1960s and has over 15 films and a dozen books to his name, along with a Mississippi Blues Trail marker and was Chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities under the Clinton administration. Our paths crossed but we never met when I was making my student film in 1971, so this was my chance to at long last meet this remarkable individual.</p>
