Cairo
Now the P-D admits that there used to be quite a bit of racial terrorism (black on white) in Cairo?
That’s something they covered up in the 1960s and 1970s.
Today, Cairo is like East St. Louis, only smaller, and without the benefit of a major metropolitan area surrounding it. The historical attraction that blacks had to Cairo is that it was in many physiographical ways like the Mississippi Delta, but it was also in the state of Illinois with its relatively generous welfare benefits.
As for this matter, what will probably happen is that they’ll be Section-8ed to Carbondale or Marion, or somewhere else.
