After Brown v Board of Ed, White Mississippians left Jackson, rather than have their children attend school w Black children. Black families were left behind & the tax base necessary for infrastructure improvements + repairs was decimated. This water crisis = the legacy of racism
"Jackson right now is what American structural racism looks like. In America almost all roads lead back to race. Even the fact that this morning 10s of 1000s of mostly Black Americans didn't have clean water to even brush their teeth."
Watch my monologue:
