I wonder what the real story is.
From Wikipedia, “The racial makeup of the city was 49.90% White, 48.26% African American”
Cleveland is shares the seat of Bolivar County with Rosedale. Bolivar County demographics, again from Wikipedia,
“The racial makeup of the county was 65.11% Black or African American”
As I said, I wonder what the real story is.
I suspect the “white schools “ are private academies bought and paid for by the parents in order to keep their kids alive, at least until they graduate from high school.
Yup. I wonder what the real story is.
If you drive down HWY 1 (as I prefer to do instead of HWY 61 on my way to and from Greenville, MS and my office in Memphis) and drive through Bolivar County/Rosedale, MS-it is “so poor, so black”. Quote stolen from Wolf Blitzer after Hurricane Katrina.
