Watch: The Daily Show features historic Turkey Creek, Mississippi

Tue, 2011-01-25 11:41

Last night the historic African American community of Turkey Creek, in Gulfport, Mississippi, was featured on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.  Derrick Evans, a Bridge The Gulf contributor (read his posts here) who is also Executive Director of Turkey Creek Community Initiatives and Advisor to the Gulf Coast Fund, tells of how residents formed an unlikely alliance to protect their land. 
This prompts Daily Show correspondent Wyatt Cenac to test a theory: that birds are treated better than black people in Mississippi.

At the same time, the optimism of the first years of implementation of it gradually grew weaker. Less and less people tend to demonstrate any-what abilities in thinking structurally, but more and more can assure its originality. To some extend decision to correctly write an essay for me may be a profound issue as we would even swear it is worth serious brain.
