ROLLING FORK, Miss.—Several hard-hit Mississippi towns continued to dig out after a powerful tornado cut a path of destruction through parts of the state Friday night, as residents balanced grief with a hope that the disaster could eventually spur renewal in their rural communities. Driving down Highway 61 into the Delta town of Rolling Fork, population 1,800, on Sunday, the smell of barbecued meat and wood smoke was overpowering. Much of the town, located not far from the Mississippi River, was leveled by the storm, including its business district. The tornado claimed at least 25 lives in Mississippi, more than a dozen of them around Rolling Fork, as residents lost parents, cousins, lifelong friends and what some said were their dream homes.

JACKSON, Miss.—As state and local officials in Mississippi’s capital continue fighting over responsibility for the breakdown that recently left most of the city without clean drinking water, tensions are rising over how to address rampant violent crime. Mississippi officials are planning to more than double the size of the police force that protects the Capitol and state office buildings to 170 officers by the end of next year. They gave the police force power to patrol a larger area of Jackson, which has one of the highest per capita homicide rates in the U.S. The Jackson Police Department, which has about 250 officers, will continue to oversee the remaining 92% of the city.

WASHINGTON—Last month, President Biden signed into law a spending bill intended to reckon with what courts and government investigations have repeatedly found to be a history of discrimination by the U.S. Agriculture Department against Black farmers. But for many Black farmers and their advocates, they will have to see the money to believe it.
