The victims of the rural slums. the victims of this disaster. have moved north and westto New York. to Chicago. and to Los Angeles. A study by Mississippi State University has shown that some 114.460 Negroes left the State in the 1950s from 11 delta counties alone. Many of them now live in the city of New York. and New York is proud that they are now her citizens. But the depressing fact is that. until we have massive programs in our cities. our cities cannot absorb this overwhelming immigration. Nobody knows this better than the recent arrivals who find themselves in the midst of the northern slums. The problems of Mississippi are national problems.
