New book looks at Delta Debutante Club of the Civil Rights era in MS

Beauvais S. McCaddon didn’t waste any time getting to real issues surrounding the spectacle of debutante socialization. Early on in her memoir, “Invitation Only: A Delta Debutante Meets the Second Reconstruction,” McCaddon asks: “How could I and other debs while living in the red-hot center of civil rights activity in the Mississippi Delta be totally clueless to the earthquake? What and who was a Delta Debutante? What was the purpose of the organization, the Delta Debutante Club? How did I fit into the role and where did it lead me?” Those questions have long been asked by people living across the vast demesne of the Mississippi Delta, an 18-county area of Northwest Mississippi, some 200 miles long and nearly 100 miles wide that’s considered one of the nation’s premier agricultural locales. To fully grasp the process of presenting elite Delta girls to “society” through the Delta Debutante Club, founded in 1943, it’s almost necessary to have a family member involved in what McCaddon describes as “the pure fantasy of being a debutante.” Then again, who’s elite? Why wasn’t civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer considered elite? She was courageous, smart and worked hard, virtues admired in Mississippi. “Invitation Only” offers

Belle Terre residents to weigh in on new Kroger store in Gluckstadt

Belle Terre community members are about to decide the future of a proposed 87,000-square-foot supermarket in Gluckstadt . National grocery chain Kroger is looking to build a new store at Bozeman Road but will need the approval of Belle Terre residents, who own the right to block large business spaces in the area. According to Gluckstadt Planning and Zoning Commissioner Caine Dearman, there is a restrictive covenant due to a previous lawsuit on the proposed 39-acre lot at the southwest corner of Bozeman Road and Gluckstadt Road. In 2014, the Mississippi Couty of Appeals overturned Madison County’s decision to rezone the parcel in a dispute with residents, leading to developers reaching a concession with homeowners. That covenant restricts the type of buildings that can go on the property, capping large businesses at 30,000 square feet without the approval of residents in Belle Terre. Homeowners can grant a waiver, but developers would need at least 55% approval of the Belle Terre residents in the subdivision on the southeast side of the intersection. Efforts to contact Gluckstadt Mayor Walter Morrison and property owner Ginger Edwards proved unsuccessful, but Dearman said the proposal hasn’t officially been brought in front of the city. The
