I live in Massachusetts and read the entire article. I will be traveling to Alabama, Mississippi, and Oklahoma in April to see first hand counties that reflect two books I have read, White Rage and The Color of Money. I am eager to meet people there and see what life is like in these areas. My heart breaks for counties like this that seem stuck in a 1960’s environment in regards to race and education. I am a teacher and look forward to speaking with other educators.
