Report Finds All Souths Poor Not Black
A year old government study released in New Orleans shows that in twenty northeastern Mississippi counties under the Appalachian Regional Commission, health facilities are inadequate with one doctor for every 2000 people, few dentists, and scarce nurses and health staff. The area is over 70 percent white and the report notes significant unmet medical needs among low income whites in the Deep South.
