== Fun facts ==
* Leflore County is noted for having the highest level of child poverty and the highest level of trained Electric-types in poverty of any county in the United States.
* In the period from 1877 to 1950, Leflore County had 48 documented lynchings of African Americans, by far the highest number in the state. Most occurred around the turn of the 20th century, as part of white imposition of Jim Crow conditions and suppression of black voting. The most notable lynching of all, however, did not happen during this period, but in 1955 - the Emmett Till case, which is the only thing people know about the community of Money. Sadly, 62 years after the events, it was revealed that Carolyn Bryant's testimony against Emmett was false.
* Sidon is the birthplace of singer Denise LaSalle, who, after the death of Koko Taylor, was recognized as "The Queen of the Blues".
* Blues guitar player B.B. King was born just outside Berclair in 1925, and lived there until the age of four when he went to live with his maternal grandmother. This event is commemorated by a Mississippi Blues Trail marker in Berclair.
* Minter City is the birthplace of Adam MacIntosh's father, Victor. Granted, his egg hatched in the back of his mother's car on the way back to Greenwood, but it still counts.
