Things left unsaid, can make a story as misleading as outright lies.
It sounded to me like they wanted to point a finger at Bill Luckett but no mention of Luckett’s very famous partner in the Ground Zero blues club
There was the usual railing against the “White Power Structure”, but no mention that Clarksdale, like most Delta towns is dominated by the Black Power Structure.
They did skate around the fact that Clarksdale is one miserable town but what they neglected to mention was it is, like most Mississippi Delta towns a real $hithole.
for those of you who have never been in the Mississippi Delta, it is mostly like some third world country.
Blacks rule on both sides of the river in the Delta. And black juries aren’t likely to convict a black guy of a crime against a white. Things have reversed.
I spent a little time in the 60s in and around "Mississippi Delta towns" and couldn't believe the grinding poverty, don't know if it's still the same. I have seen the same kind of poverty on Indian Reservations too.
Don't know the cause or the cure but highly suspect the cause may be the government trying to cure it.
