Yall talking about seeing grade point averages? :heh: Do you think the school would hesitate to make the black girl Salutatorian if she was ACTUALLY in second place or if there was a legitimate GPA tie? :camron:

"The school has never done something like this before, but they’ve also never had a black valedictorian before."

I'm curious as to why there hasn't been a black valedictorian in this town in more than 110 years when it has a majority black population (according to Wiki 49.9% Black vs. 46.8% White)?:jbhmm:

"According to Jasmine’s mother, racial tensions are prevalent in the school district. In 2016, a federal judge ruled that the district failed to desegregate schools despite the 50-year-old Brown v. Topeka Board of Education decision ordering them to."

If the school district was segregated up until last year, what would have been the motivation for them to promote or even acknowledge a black valedictorian before 2016?:jbhmm:


History of Cleveland according to Wikipedia:
Cleveland, Mississippi - Wikipedia

In 1967, Senators Robert F. Kennedy and Joseph S. Clark, Jr. began Senate hearings to assess the effectiveness of the War on Poverty programs. The first field hearings were held in Jackson, Mississippi, and the following day Kennedy and Clark set out to visit "pockets of poverty" in the Mississippi Delta. They arrived in Cleveland, along with Marian Wright and Peter Edelman, for a tour conducted by Amzie Moore. There they observed barefoot, underfed African-American children in tattered clothing, with vacant expressions and distended bellies. Kennedy told Edelman that he thought he had seen the worst poverty in the nation in West Virginia, but it paled in comparison to the poverty he observed in Cleveland.[2]

:dwillhuh:

I wonder what the leadership in this majority black town looks like? :jbhmm:
