Jackson (Mississippi)

Jackson is sinds 1821 de hoofdstad van de Amerikaanse staat Mississippi. Het is tevens de grootste stad van deze staat; in 2020 waren er 153.701 inwoners, waarmee het de enige stad in Mississippi is met meer dan 100.000 inwoners. Geschiedenis De stad heette oorspronkelijk LeFleur's Bluff en werd in 1815 vernoemd naar Andrew Jackson, die als generaal een belangrijke rol speelde in de Slag bij New Orleans en later de zevende president van de VS zou worden. In 1821 werd Jackson gekozen als hoofdstad van de staat omwille van haar relatief centrale ligging. Jackson was in de periode 1942-1944 de thuisbasis van de Royal Netherlands Military Flying School. Op de Begraafplaats Cedar Lawn vindt jaarlijks nog een herdenking plaats ter herinnering aan de 42 Nederlandse slachtoffers uit deze periode. Sinds de late 20e en vroege 21e eeuw wordt de stad geplaagd door diverse problemen. Door jarenlang gebrekkig beheer verkeert de publieke infrastructuur en de watervoorziening in een zeer slechte staat. In 2024 werd de Democratische burgemeester Chokwe Antar Lumumba aangeklaagd binnen het kader van een corruptieschandaal. Daarnaast kent de stad veel armoede en criminaliteit en stond ze enkele jaren bekend als de "moordhoofdstad" van de VS. In 2021 kende de stad een moordcijfer van 99,5 per 100.000 inwoners, tegenover een nationaal gemiddelde van 5,5. De stad is op die manier representatief voor de slechte reputatie van de hele staat Mississippi in de rest van het land. Demografie Van de bevolking is 10,9% ouder dan 65 jaar en bestaat voor 28,9% uit eenpersoonshuishoudens. De werkloosheid bedraagt 5,3% (cijfers volkstelling 2000). Het grootste deel van de bevolking is van Afrikaanse oorsprong, namelijk 70,6%. Ongeveer 0,8% van de bevolking van Jackson bestaat uit hispanics en latino's en 0,6% van de bevolking is van Aziatische oorsprong. De stad kampt met een demografische terugval. In 1980 leefden er nog 202.895 mensen in Jackson. Het aantal inwoners daalde nadien tot 196.575 in 1990 en 184.256 in 2000. Tussen 2000 en 2020 daalde het aantal verder tot 153.701. Geografie De stad is gelegen aan de Pearl River. De totale oppervlakte van de stad is 277 km², waarvan 5,0 km² water. Klimaat In januari is de gemiddelde temperatuur 6,7 °C, in juli is dat 27,5 °C. Jaarlijks valt er gemiddeld 1406,4 mm neerslag (gegevens op basis van de meetperiode 1961-1990).

Lyric Theater (Oxford, Mississippi)

The Lyric is a historical theater located in Oxford, Mississippi at 1006 Van Buren Avenue that hosts a wide variety of acts. History The Lyric was originally a livery stable owned by William Faulkner's family in the early part of the 20th century. The stable was originally used to hold the horses that pulled the buggies around Oxford's town square. It was later converted into a theater for silent films and live performances during the 1920s when it was named the Lyric Theater. During this time, the theater was owned and operated by Robert X. Williams, Jr., who was the son of the mayor and cousin-in-law of William Faulkner. The invention of motion pictures turned the Lyric into Oxford's first movie theater. In 1949, William Faulkner walked from his home (Rowan Oak) to the Lyric to attend the world premiere of MGM's "Intruder in the Dust" at his former childhood stable. In the 1970s, the Lyric stopped operating as a movie theater and was abandoned for many years until the 1980s, when it was restored and turned into a health center and office spaces. In 2007, the building went through major renovations and once again returned to a theater. On July 3, 2008, the theater began operating again. The Lyric is currently managed by Lindsay Dillon-Maginnis. References External links http://msmuseumart.org/index.php/map/place/the-lyric-oxford

De Soto National Forest

De Soto National Forest, named for 16th-century Spanish conquistador Hernando de Soto, is 518,587 acres (810 sq mi; 2,099 km2) of pine forests in southern Mississippi. It is one of the most important protected areas for the biological diversity of the Gulf Coast ecoregion of North America. It is a nationally important site for protection of longleaf pine savannas, pine flatwoods, and longleaf pine forests. More than 90 percent of this ecosystem type has been lost in the United States. The wet pine savannas support rare and endangered plant and animal species, such as the orchid Calopogon multiflorus, gopher frogs, and gopher tortoises. These habitats also have numerous carnivorous plants, particularly pitcher plants; Buttercup Flats has an international reputation in this regard. This national forest also offers year-round opportunities for outdoor activities, including camping, canoeing, bird-watching, photography, hunting, fishing, and more. There are two nationally significant wilderness areas within DeSoto: Black Creek Wilderness and Leaf River Wilderness. Black Creek is a popular stream for canoeing, camping, and fishing, and is Mississippi's only designated National Wild and Scenic River. Two National Recreational Trails, the Black Creek Trail and Tuxachanie Trail, offer more than 60 miles (96.6 km) of hiking opportunities. The forest headquarters office is in Jackson, the state capital, as are those for all six national forests in Mississippi. The local ranger district office is in Wiggins, which is surrounded by the national forest on three sides: north, east, and south. De Soto National Forest is located between Hattiesburg and Gulfport, and can be easily accessed by U.S. Highway 49 and U.S. Highway 98. It lies in parts of ten counties. In descending order of land area they are Perry, Wayne, Harrison, Forrest, Stone, Greene, Jones, Jackson, George, and Pearl River counties.
