EAST ST. LOUIS – Three citizens sufficiently alleged that a map of St. Clair County board districts violates the U.S. Constitution and the Voting Rights Act, U.S. District Judge David Dugan ruled on Jan. 1.
Just around the corner from Willow Hill Heritage and Renaissance Center, the site of one of the first all-Black schools in Bulloch County, Georgia, lies 19 acres of land owned by a generational farmer, Roy Mosley.
He says he chose to follow in the agricultural footsteps of his late grandfather Robert “R.L.” Williams, who was a hog farmer and mechanic all his life.
“He and my grandma had a large flock of chickens, we actually sold brown eggs to our local grocery store at one time, and just a lot of customers coming straight to the farm,” said Mosley, who runs Roy Mosley Farms in the small town of Portal, which is about 200 miles southeast of Atlanta.
