Wow kc... way to represent!!!

Pine Bluff/Jefferson County is the only county in Arkansas with a majority population of African-Americans (unless the Hispanic pop. has caught up... either way, it's not white). The University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB) is the state's largest HBCU-- Historically Black College/University. This town reminds me of the issues that are going on in the midwest-- it was built up entirely on manufacturing/ heavy industry. And now everyone is moving to Little Rock for the growth in tech jobs or the business sector. Thanks to UAPB and a few agribusinesses, Pine Bluff will hopefully keep tipping along, but it's definitely a GHOST TOWN.
