Comments
Resident from nearby Town-2008
“For what it’s worth. I was raised in Altus, Oklahoma (seat of Jackson county)graduated Altus HS Class of 1994. There was a town about five miles away called Blair, Oklahoma (population was about 600, 2nd largest town in Jackson county)- the Black population was and remains zero.
Growing up, I always heard that Blacks were not welcome there, and that the last Black person who had moved there had been hanged.”
