Mother Nature is taking Jackson, Mississippi back and no one has the ability to stop her.
Even the churches are closed down here, and this is the Deep South where religion is all that a lot of these people have. Even the foreign churches are closed. --Nick Johnson
Observations from narrator, Nick Johnson,
"Jackson, Mississippi, the city with Soul because of the blues and gospel and folk and jazz." Named for Andrew Jackson
$30,000 to be a cop in Jackson, Mississippi.
Jackson is Mississippi's capital AND most populous. "Jackson is the capital of and the most populous city in the U.S. state of Mississippi."
Johnson again,
Jackson is 80% black, and the state legislature is mostly white.
Jackson, Mississippi has the 3rd highest homicide rate in the world behind Tijuana, Mexico, and Caracas, Venezuela.
Abandoned retail space! Now that's scary.
Johnson continues,
Is desegregation to blame? A lot of the white families took their families to the burbs.
North Jackson is pretty nice with a commercial center called Fondren.
North Jackson is nice, and he covers that at the 20:45 mark. Madison, Mississippi is a very nice, upscale neighborhood.
22:55 The narrator, Nick Johnson, concludes that Jackson, Mississippi is the worst place he's ever been, worse than Baltimore, Maryland, worse than Shreveport, Louisiana, and worse than Pine Bluff, Arkansas, and even Oakland, Califonia.
24:00 Nick interviews Tyra, one of Jackson, Mississippi's residents.
