Meridian Civil Rights Trail
The African-American Business District provided services that Meridian's black community could not otherwise receive due to Jim Crow laws that kept the South segregated. It was the location of a hotel, restaurants, barber and beauty shops, a drugstore, a florist, a burial society and numerous other businesses.| HM Number | HM23H6 |
