Welcome to Mississippi. A state rich in culture and tradition. A place where civil rights activists still courageously carry the mantel for just and equitable policies. A community continually reckoning with its history of slavery and the modern-day impacts.
William Faulkner once said, “To understand the world, you must first understand a place like Mississippi.” This Deep South state holds some of the widest racial disparities, a consequence of historical policies and racialized systems that still perpetuate inequities in pay, access to care and opportunities to work.
However, at WKKF, we see Mississippi as a beacon of light in the South.
