Rebuilding is needed for more than just houses
by Jack GrantI grew up in northern Mississippi, and at that time, the schools had little money to buy books and other important supplies needed to educate their students. The public libraries were no better, there were a few Carnagie libraries around, but they did not have the support from the local government, which could barely afford to maintain fire departments and law enforcement. Libraries were a luxury.
Decades later, little has changed, and in the Gulf Coast region of the state, the situation is even worse, because not only do they not have the money, but the recent hurricanes took away what little they had.
Harry Boswell has a description of what was lost and a way you can help make things better. Please consider a small donation to help rebuild the libraries in Mississippi.
