Tens of Thousands of Jackson, Mississippi Residents Still Without Water
“I am begging the national media to please pay attention. There is a crisis happening in Jackson.” - Angie Thomas, New York Times bestselling author Mark Ralston
Thousands of residents in the predominately Black city of Jackson, Mississippi have gone without running water for nearly two weeks after an icy winter storm swept through the deep South, knocking out power and water in some areas. Jackson is currently under a boil water alert, which means most residents are struggling to find ways to bathe, cook and use the bathroom.
Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumb said it’s unclear when power and running water will be restored for all residents. “This is one of the unfortunate facts that I have to deliver,” he told The Associated Press. “But I owe you honesty and I owe you truth so we can manage how we prepare.”
