those are def shocking stats. coming from memphis, TN (def "the south"), i def feel like i have seen pockets of similar communities around my city. although i'm abroad right now and see problems elsewhere in the world, it's so easy to forget that in my own country there are social injustices and disparities that still need to be fixed. thanx for putting this story out there and raising our consciousness
