The Mississippi Flood of 1927 devastated the Delta region of Mississippi which was then even more overwhelmingly black than it is today, so that name is racist.
Try again.

There were a lot of "what not to do" examples and some political shenanigans going on that put the river at risk. Great read. I used to hunt with a guy that had property just south of the "27 Break Hunting Club".

I’m not sure about that. The Delta towns 40-50 years ago were way more white then than now. Population has been declining for years and most of it is White flight. Not sure about the 1920s but I know the 60s-70s it was closer to 50/50 everywhere but now it’s more like 25-75 in favor of black
