Mississippi is home the Choctaw and Cherokee Indian reservations. They own thousands of acres of land and commercial property in Mississippi Alabama and Louisiana. Casino Gaming and Agriculture are their major sources of income today.
As we celebrate “Thanksgivings” let us all remember the Native #ADOS who predate the “Founding Fathers” of this Country before 1775. #ADOS have been in America well before 1565.

Our #Genocide in America was aided and abetted by Native American Tribes and Chiefs of this land. The town of Greenwood is located in Leflore County, MS at the edge of the Delta farming country. It is named for Chief Greenwood LeFlore. Chief in 1830.

Ironically, as #ADOSActivists in Ms have dismantled the vestiges of the Confederacy, Native American Tribes are dead set on upholding their legacy in America. Choctaw Tribes love LeFlore like Confederates love Jefferson Davis. @IsabelleTaft @MSFreePress

In conclusion, #ADOS✊🏾demand to be a protected class of Americans. We have been plundered by Native Americans and Europeans who founded this country. Our #Genocide is systemic. We are fighting for liberation in the form of #Reparations #HappyThanksgiving

Blacks have always practiced Group Economics. Mound Bayou, MS was founded by former Slave Benjamin Montgomery in 1867. It was one of the earliest Self Governing Black Communities in America. It covered 846 acres of land. #ADOSPolitics npr.org/2017/03/08/515… @NPRmelissablock
The problem that Blacks have had throughout history is a lack of Political Capital that protect their economic interests. Mound Bayou, MS is a perfect example of why a political framework is so important. #ADOSPolitics @BennieGThompson @jerameyanderson mississippitoday.org/2018/01/24/mou…
To add context to the Political repercussions of not having agency, more than half of the 98% Black population in Mound Bayou, MS live below the Poverty Level. They have a population of 1,408.
