Finding God in the Mississippi Delta

[rug]

Moorhead, Mississippi (CNN) - The Mississippi Delta is the kind of place where everyone shows up for a funeral.

It was on such a day in 1997 that Lucas McCarty and his grandfather had come to pay their respects to a young man who'd been killed in a car crash.

John Woods was there to bury his son.

Lucas and John had met a handful of times before, but that's the day John found his new son and Lucas his "black daddy" – each one delivered in his own way from a tragic past.

1. The Delta is also where Robert Johnson

sold his soul to the Devil at the Crossroads. There's a lot of good music and other art up there. Some people think it's heaven, but it more resembles my idea of hell.
