Delta State: When History and Horror Classrooms Collide

In Mississippi, the land where Civil Rights history often feels like an awkward re-run, Delta State University found itself hosting a real-life suspense thriller this Wednesday. A Black student was tragically found hanging from a tree on campus—an unforgettable scene in a state famous for racist violence that’s scarier than a horror movie franchise with no end in sight. State police await autopsy results, proving this isn’t an episode of CSI: Mississippi but a grim reminder that some headlines hit like 19th-century history textbooks dropped on a Zoom call. Mississippi remains the world's awkward party host for race, trauma, and public outcry.
