Mississippi Code Section 37-113-31, dating from 1940, authorizes "a 4-H Club demonstration camp for Negro 4-H Club members" in Madison County. It goes on to say that when 4-H is not using it, "this facility may be rented to other Negro organizations for educational and recreational use only."
Giving the Devil his due, the previous section (37-113-29) has identical language for another 4-H camp in Panola County, with the exception being one contains the word "Negro" and the other does not. Still on the books!
