The Mississippi Delta towns have historically been majority black and very poor. This is where the blues was born you know.
"The Mississippi Delta towns have historically been majority black and very poor."
Not exactly true.
The population of this city, Greenville, has changed. It was always majority white with some black population.
That goes for the rest of the MS Delta -- towns like Leland, Hollandale, Shaw, Cleveland, etc.
These were grand Southern towns for years and years -- very nice places to live.
As I said, the last 15-20 years has brought a change in the population. And there has been a change in crime statistics also.
maybe they should move.
