Community reacts to Hattiesburg municipal precinct changes
Community reacts to Hattiesburg municipal precinct changes By Melissa Rademaker | February 22, 2021 at 6:44 PM CST - Updated February 23 at 10:47 AM
HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) - The Hattiesburg City Council voted last week to change the location for three voting precincts for the upcoming municipal elections. This change affects Wards 1, Ward 2 and Ward 4.
Longtime Mobile-Bouie neighborhood resident Melvin Williams welcomes the change.
“Number one, we’re proud that it’s a precinct because it’s the future home of the Civil Rights Museum,” Williams said of the change to the Eureka School Precinct. “So what better place to become a precinct than a Civil Rights Museum. And then second of all, it’s the convenience. You know most of the people that vote at this precinct live in this community.”

The generation gap has never been more acute than 2020, as large swathes of our older people were locked away behind the unflattering cocooning label.
However a school project undertaken by a group of Meath schoolgirls prior to the pandemic proved invaluable to older people when Covid-19 hit.
Last year, RTÉ s Prime Time filmed students from Eureka Secondary School in Kells collaborating with a group of elderly locals on an innovative project.
The transition year students developed an eight-week programme with senior citizens to help combat loneliness and social isolation.
