This 2 horse town were reading about

Here is a picture of their Podunk town's claim to fame, whole lotta nothing. Other pictures I've seen make it look like it really is just in the middle of the sticks. I can only imagine the amount of unreported lynches and murders and abuses to the African american community in this town. in this weeks reading i saw the author realizing the white economic privilege that came at the costs of several generations of African Americans from segregation. i then notice a flip flop back and forth from focusing on her "white guilt" back to worrying about herself and health back to the unfairness and worry if her hometown was a good place to raise her children. I had no idea that segregation was real up until the 80's in some places. Truly disturbing American history fact to learn.
