So? It's a predominantly black incorporated town. Isn't that what you asked for?

Add Marshall, Lauderdale & Colbert to your list of cotton-producing counties.
Go back about 40 years and add Cullman, Franklin, Etowah, Fayette, Winston, Jackson and more counties. Back then, cotton = cash crop, so everybody tried to grow some. Data source: http://www.cotton.org/econ/cropinfo/.../county-db.cfm

With floods and droughts affecting cotton-producing areas of other countries, this season we're going to see a lot of acreage being planted with cotton - acreage that in the past decade has grown soybeans and corn.

Not to...change the subject or anything...

You can add Lamar, Pickens, Tuscaloosa as cotton producing areas. With the price of cotton this year , I think more cotton will be grown only draw back is getting it ginned. One Fayette county farmer that rents not far from me is cutting back on peanuts and planting more cotton this year.

That story was on yesterday's NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams. It showed a couple dozen "Phil Campbells" from all across the USA and a few were from overseas. Great story!

Default Phil Campbell

If you are looking to live amoung African Americans you need to move to another part of the State. Few African Americans have ever lived in that part of the State primarily because Cotton was never planted in abundance in that area. Large Blace polulations, for some reason, are primarily found in areas where Cotton was King.You might want to consider Perry County.

Yes pretty much, high concentrations of black people live in one of two places, either areas in the South where there were high concentrations of plantations and thus high slave populations or major cities both North and South where blacks sought jobs. (Birmingham, New Orleans, Atlanta, Detroit, New York, Chicago etc.) What reason would any black person have to move to a place like Phil Campbell or Cullman?
