  2. Hopefully, the Mississippi people will produce a more educated and more intelligent generation who will not vote for their problems.

  3. US Black Citizens were the only Citizens that were Enslaved in America. They aren't Immigrants or Migrants. They did work but it was Free Labor that built this Country and Black Labor that built this Country. They didn't come here looking for Something in America and to see another group come over here it's Disgraceful and UnAmerican
