Mid-Century Mississippi: Subsistence Homesteads
Homesteads in Tupelo were a result of a planned housing program that was running in the 1930s. The aim was to address housing issues of workers employed by industries such as textile industry that were quite cyclical in its nature. The problem became very apparent during the Great Depressions. With provided housing for laid off workers, they would stick around and enable the companies to get back to full production as soon as the business environment improves.
Key Takeaways:
- In 1934, while in the Tennessee Valley, Hickock sent two reports that gave the impression of the local scene along with reactions to the newly created Tennessee Valley Authority.
- Mississippi was also the first city electrified through the Tennessee Valley Authority.
- all the remaining houses have been used by the NTP as employee quarters or for other administrative purposes.
“Someone asked me after the Tupelo Homesteads post whether there were any African Americans allowed in these developments.”
