Poverty in Tallahatchie, Mississippi

Looks like slaves quarters from the 1800’s that never been updated... god please help the poor people of Mississippi

This shouldn't be happening in America .

She is absolutely right. I’m living in Mississippi. I actually grew up in a home just a little bit better than this house. I use to look thru the floor and see the ground and look up and see the sky. It was freezing in winter and burn up in summer. I had to deal with the situation until I was able to leave. We, my family, didn’t want to live like this but we didn’t have any choice. I was raised in Lucas (Silver Creek, MS), Lawrence County and Jefferson Davis County. You don’t know how it is until you have to live in those conditions.

I grow up in a house like this and it was full of love it was not pretty but it was a place to live

There are homes like this all.over the rural south.

The man who she interviewed is my childhood friend and still is to this day, a good man.

Where is Oprah so that she may help the people who reside in America instead of Africa?

People in the comment section... STOP judging and HELP those in need! I can't believe the comment section😐. I am definitely contacting the makers of these videos and doing what I can to help. Instead of you all nit picking, DO the same and HELP.

Thank you my black sister for bringing these shameful conditions in this so called Hone Of The Brave and Land Of The Free. Please ignore the negative comments, and keep up the good work.

This is just about like my little grandmother's house...but I promise those ones living like this are Beautiful, Precious LOVING ,CARING PEOPLE....They know the meaning of TRUE LOVE .....My Grandmother's home was nothing...but it was a BEAUTIFUL HOME..PRECIOUS MEMORIES....Iwant to one day try to build it back..it burned to the ground....sad day....but I'm thankful for the LOVE we shared there...amen

People should be ashamed to judge people. Judge not so you won't be jidged.

So far I see an able bodied man, who is able to tack up that metal cladding on the house, clean the overgrown brush off the house, clean up the junk around the house... Being poor doesnt mean you cant keep a tidy place...

People can be so cold refusing to understand that the circle of poverty isn't easy to break free of. Have you ever felt discouraged and there seems to be no answer? Well, most of these people have been in this trap for generations. No hope, no end to the sorrow. Even if you don't think you have anything to give, a kind word will go much further than you think rather than judge those less fortunate.

No judgment, just a prayer!!

Would you believe Oprah is from MS. No jobs, no public transportation, no way out. There is not enough money to repair that home. It is a total loss.

"God Has not forsaken thee"

The real face of America, the greed of the corporates

This is a wonderful black lady trying to help her people. Thank you

This would be what church and community groups should be doing here.

There is a lot of land around that house to grow some produce and raise some live stock............ Time to get to work.
