In this clip from Far East Deep South, we hear how both Chinese and African American families were not allowed to live in white neighborhoods in the South during the Jim Crow era. We hear from African American members of the community why they preferred shopping at Chinese run grocery stores in the Mississippi Delta in light of segregated laws.
