Situated in the south east corner of the USA, the states of Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi are known as the Bible Belt, and are the home of the Civil Rights movement, the American Civil War, and the birthplace of the blues.

Traveller Ian Wright goes trekking in the Great Smokey Mountains, before driving south to Atlanta, Georgia. He then catches the bus to Tuskegee, Alabama, and onto the idyllic beaches of the Gulf Shores. Along Highway 61, he passes through Vicksburg and Clarksdale, before ending his journey in Memphis, Tennessee.

Along the way ...
  • Visit the birthplace of Martin Luther King
  • Fly in a T6 Texan fighter plane with a WWII veteran at the Tuskegee airbase
  • Attend the annual re-enactment of the Battle of Fort Morgan, the last of the Civil War, where Confederates were overwhelmed by the Unionists
  • Attend Elvis Week in Memphis, an annual pilgrimage for thousands of fans of "The King"
