The article on Coahoma County omits to mention Civil Rights leadership and organizing activity during the 1960's and 1970's. This can be remedied by cross-referencing with crmvets.com (Civil Rights Movement Veterans). Given that the article on Coahoma is linked to the biography of Reconstruction Era governor Alcorn, who resided in Coahoma in the latter part of his life, it would be an excellent way to expand and deepen understanding of the historical evolution of both Alcorn and Coahoma. Certainly given his prominence in Mississippi's political evolution, both as founder of historically Black Alcorn University and as an advocate of separate but equal legislation, this would be a valuable and fitting addition to the history of Coahoma.Detroit2ny (talk) 12:29, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

A recent study of The Black Freedom Struggle in Clarksdale by professor and scholar Francoise Hamlin, would be an essential amplification to the Wikipedia article on Coahoma Country.
