There are many blues songs written about the night club fire in Natchez, MS in 1940. One was by Howlin' Wolf called "The Natchez Burnin". So we found the memorial at the corner of MLK and St. Catherine St. The fire is among the ten deadliest public assembly fires in the history of the United States. There were 209 death that night.
