Is Vicksburg a rural or urban area? Honestly, many of the places in the Deep South defy rural/urban classifications. Surely they have politics, I just never saw a protest. Not having a well defined city center to protest at helps.
- pcthrowaway 3y agoI'm not too familiar with Vicksburg though I'd say it's more on the urban side. Googling quickly shows there were a lot of George Floyd protests there in 2020, though I'm sure you could miss them. Related to the topic at hand, there have been ceasefire rallies there more recently.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoYa, I left the south in 1991 (30+ years ago, I'm getting old), so my info could be out dated and they are more politically active now. Although when I was there I heard about the civil rights movement 20+ years prior where protests were a lot more common.
