Anna Across America - Jackson, Mississippi
The Mississippi State Capitol marks the 12th state capitol on the Anna Across America tour. The Mississippi State Capitol is located in the heart of Jackson. The city was named after Andrew Jackson in honor of the then colonel's role in winning the battle of New Orleans, the decisive victory in the War of 1812.
The Capitol as well as other areas of Jackson were featured in the critically acclaimed movie The Help from 2011.
Through the years, Hollywood has found ways to promote - either intentionally or not intentionally - the freat taste of the most original soft drink ever.
Take a look at the movie clips in the link below for Dr Pepper cameos on the silver screen.
