Excerpt from Civil Rights Journal, Vol. 1: Fall 1995

Healthcare laid off 830 workers in 1994 as it shifted work to Mexico and Asia, dealing a devastating blow to a county that is 65 percent African American. The county already had a 33 percent poverty rate and the State's highest unem' ployment rate of 12 percent. The layoffs contributed to racial ten' sions in the area. Angered by the threat of higher taxes, a small, pre dominantly white town tried to secede from the county to join a more afﬂuent n e i g h b o r in g county that is predominantly white.
