Representing "The Magnolia State," we find a man who carries a post-gardening glow and a bit of Mississippi's fertile land on his shirt. Dressed in a large farming hat and a bandana that hints at a long day's work, his shirt speckled with the tell-tale signs of honest work- that's right, those are proud badges of dirt. He's the epitome of southern grit, hard work, and good old Mississippi perseverance.
Of course, Mississippi's not all work, though. Known for its magnolia trees and deep blue roots, it's a state that moves to the rhythm of Blues and a cold glass of tea.
