He was elected in 1977, the first Black mayor since Reconstruction. Tchula, a town of 2,000, is 75 percent Black and the official unemployment rate is 40 percent. Two thirds of the town is dependent upon welfare. Holmes County, where Tchula is located, is the tenth poorest in the U. S. The majority of Black people who live there are in Borricada photo homes which lack plumbing or electricity. When Eddie The four horsemen of the Apocalypse Women in the Nicaraguan revolution Carthan was elected mayor he began to make changes, securing federal funds to improve conditions, and mov­ ing to bring in small businesses. He initiated programs to repair, remodel and weatherize homes. He started a ln-person report on Nicaragua, Peru, Mexico day care program and a nutrition project for senior citi­ zens and handicapped. WHITES THREATEN BLACK MAYOR But he always had trouble with a small clique of whites—many of whom are descendants of former slave Latin America's revolutionary spirit owners—who dominate the local economy.

  • High Cotton and the Low Road: an Unraveling Farm Bill Coalition and Its Implications
    REPRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED WITH PERMISSION OF THE DRAKE JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL LAW HIGH COTTON AND THE LOW ROAD: AN UNRAVELING FARM BILL COALITION AND ITS IMPLICATIONS Jonathan W. Coppess† At the center of this conversation is the United States Congress, the only institution in which representatives from throughout the nation come together to hash out national policy. In the 1850s, a crisis over fundamental American values and institutions—the slavery crisis—eroded the process of debate and compromise that gives Congress its purpose and power. In 2018, a crisis over different fundamentals—immigration, the rule of law, the status and safety of women and people of color—is doing much the same. If Congress’s checkered past teaches us anything on this score, it teaches this: A dysfunctional Congress can close off a vital arena for national dialogue, leaving us vulnerable in ways that we haven’t yet begun to fathom.1 Abstract ......................................................................................................... 344 I.
