History of Franklin County
Franklin County is a small town located in the seat of Meadville, MS. The town was founded on December 21, 1809. Franklin County is a rural town with a population of 7,765 according to the 2020 census bureau. It was fourth county organized in the state of Mississippi, initially it was developed for agricultural purposes with the specific intent of growing cotton for enslaved labor for African Americans.
Franklin County, like much of the other parts of the state had a lot of racially segregated facilities under the Jim Crow. According to Wikipedia most white opposed the civil rights movement of the mid-20th century. In May of 1964 some KKK members abducted and killed two young black males by the names of Henry Dee and Charles Moore of Meadville MS. The bodies of these two young men weren’t found until July of 1964. No one was charged at the time. It wasn’t until 2007 when the case reopened after a documentary was released. A local man by the name of James Ford Seale was convicted by an all-white jury in 2007.

Discuss your experiences growing up in your community. Thankfully I didn’t have to experience a lot of the segregation that went on in my community. When I came along for the most part blacks and white got alone ok. I grew up with my parents and my 2 siblings right here in Franklin County. I attended a Baptist church by the name of Zion Missionary Baptist church. I went to Franklin County School district for my entire educational experience.
Identify at least two concerns/issues related to the viability of your community. I would like to think one issue would be the community not working together when it comes to politics. I find it to be an issue because some of us choose to run against each other in this small community instead of sticking together and putting the best person in place. Another concern would be it not being enough activities for the youth to participate in inside the community.
