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

Elon Musk company started Mississippi data center without permits, state alleges

Mississippi’s environmental regulators released details this week on a set of penalties against SpaceXAI for violating state water pollution laws by starting construction on its Southaven data center facilities without needed permits. The company first announced the potential fines to investors two weeks ago, speculating the amount could reach as much as $6.1 million. To limit pollution from construction reaching public bodies of water, state law requires companies to first obtain a permit. Without proper protections, rain, for instance, can carry debris and chemicals off construction sites and pollute natural habitats, drinking water systems and recreational areas, federal regulators warn . Earlier this year, SpaceXAI – through its subsidiary, MZX Tech LLC – asked the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality for permits allowing construction within its growing Southaven footprint , which includes a power plant as well as land to build a $20 billion data center facility called MACROHARDRR. But during a July meeting between MDEQ and MZX Tech, “it became apparent” the company had already begun construction on the land in question, impacting about 30 acres, MDEQ records show. On July 16, a day after the meeting, MDEQ staff visited Southaven and confirmed the infractions. The agency sent two

South Mississippi star running back named back-to-back 4A Mr. Football winner

The first prep football player in Mississippi history to score 100 career rushing touchdowns has been named 4A Mr. Football by the Mississippi High School Activities Association and the Mississippi Association of Coaches for the second year in a row. Poplarville running back Ty Keys claims the honor again during a senior season that has witnessed him find the end zone 31 times and counting. He’s rushed for over 1,600 yards and 28 touchdowns. The Miami commit has seven 100-yard rushing games, four 200-yard games and a season-high 345 yards and five scores against McComb. Keys has helped lead Poplarville to a region title and a 10-0 record that the Hornets are taking into the second round of the playoffs this week. He’s the first back-to-back winner in South Mississippi since former Ocean Springs standout Bray Hubbard did the same in 2021-22.

Dear establishment, quit counting out Mississippi voters

The Mississippi Delta contains some of the most fertile land to be found, teeming with alluvial soil that has been primed for centuries by the Mississippi River’s floods. Agriculturists farm soybeans, cotton, rice, corn and catfish, breaking their backs for fruitful harvest. Yet despite its prolific nature, the Magnolia State is acutely devoid of another form of nourishment: political investment.
