The Negro Projects: Ep. 6: Rural Hardship: Black Life in the 1930s South

Connie Morris explores the harsh social conditions—poverty, sharecropping, segregated schools, and limited healthcare—that affected Black communities in the early 20th-century rural South and helped prompt public health proposals like the Negro Project.

The episode combines historical context, scripture reflections on caring for the vulnerable, and questions about how these past inequalities continue to influence education, health, and economic opportunity today.
