A black FEMA agent worked in Stone County for one day around Feb., 2008, but found that his skin color made people extraordinarily uncooperative, according to a report from a co-worker.

“[My sister’s] husband has memories of his father
and grandfather going out at night to do God know
what to blacks – I hate to think. Neither she nor her
husband know of any black people living in Stone
County now.”

Stone County
