== Fun facts ==
* Adam's siblings were all born in Greenwood. So what happened with him? Well, on a trip in 1988, Bonnie left Adam's egg unattended for a little bit as she was getting a few things and would be quick, when Levell Cross, who would go on to be his trainer from birth before death from a drug overdose in July 1990, found the egg, and when he looked in, he didn't see Bonnie as she was in a part of the store where she wouldn't be noticed from the outside. Thinking the egg had been abandoned, unaware of the truth, Levell got the egg and took it home with him to keep it warm and raise it well.
* Moorhead is home to the Mississippi Delta Community College. All else it has to offer are a Blues Trail marker, a Dollar General and a Double Quick convenience store, but that's about it.
