Lowndes County is the name of several counties in the United States:
Alabama (i/ˌæləˈbæmə/) is a state located in the southeastern region of the United States. It is bordered by Tennessee to the north, Georgia to the east, Florida and the Gulf of Mexico to the south, and Mississippi to the west. Alabama is the 30th-most extensive and the 24th-most populous of the 50 United States. At 1,300 miles (2,100 km), Alabama has one of the longest navigable inland waterways in the nation.
From the American Civil War until World War II, Alabama, like many states in the South, suffered economic hardship, in part because of continued dependence on agriculture. Despite the growth of major industries and urban centers, White rural interests dominated the state legislature from 1901 to the 1960s, as it did not regularly reapportion the legislature from 1901 to 1961; urban interests and African Americans were markedly under-represented. African Americans and poor whites were essentially disenfranchised altogether by the state constitution of 1901, a status that continued into the mid-1960s before being alleviated by federal legislation. Exclusion of minorities continued under at-large voting systems in most counties; some changes were made through a series of omnibus court cases in the late 1980s to establish different electoral systems.
A county, abbreviated Cnty. (US) or Co. (UK and Ireland), is a geographical region of a country used for administrative or other purposes, in certain modern nations. The term is derived from the Old French conté or cunté denoting a jurisdiction under the sovereignty of a count (earl) or a viscount. The modern French is comté, and its equivalents in other languages are contea, contado, comtat, condado, Grafschaft, graafschap, Gau, etc. (cf. conte, comte, conde, Graf).
When the Normans conquered England, they brought the term with them. The Saxons had already established the districts that became the historic counties of England, calling them shires (many county names derive from the name of the county town with the word "shire" added on: for example, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire). The Vikings introduced the term earl (from Old Norse, jarl) to the British Isles. Thus, "earl" and "earldom" were taken as equivalent to the continental use of "count" and "county". So the later-imported term became a synonym for the native English word scir ([ʃiːr]) or, in Modern English, shire. Since a shire was an administrative division of the kingdom, the term "county" evolved to designate an administrative division of national government in most modern uses.
Lowndes County is a county of the U.S. state of Alabama. As of the 2010 census, the population was 11,299. Its county seat is Hayneville. The county is named in honor of William Lowndes, a member of the United States Congress from South Carolina.
Lowndes County is part of the Montgomery, Alabama Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Lowndes County was formed from Montgomery, Dallas and Butler counties, by an act of the Alabama General Assembly on January 20, 1830. The county is named for South Carolina statesman William Lowndes.
Following Reconstruction and years in which blacks continued to be elected to local office, the white-Democrat dominated state legislature gained passage of a new constitution in 1901 that effectively disfranchised most blacks and many poor whites. Requirements were added for payment of a cumulative poll tax before registering to vote, difficult for poor people to manage; and literacy tests (with a provision for a grandfather clause to exempt illiterate white voters from being excluded.) The number of black voters fell dramatically, as did poor white voters.

Rural residents of Lowndes County in Alabama lack access to any form of a sewage system and are therefore exposed to disease. In Lowndes County, this mainly affects poor African-American families. These Third World conditions should not exist in America today. The Alabama Center for Rural Enterprise (ACRE) is working to address these issues. ACRE was originally founded in 2002 as part of the Alabama Rural Initiative of the National Center for Neighborhood Enterprise. A model for addressing poverty in economic development in one of the poorest areas of the nation, ACRE is located in Lowndes County, Alabama. Duke undergrad Jacob Rosenberg produced this promotional video while researching with the Duke Human Rights Center at FHI. To learn more about this issue, go to http://acrecdc.com.
For many Black Americans, generational poverty has been so rampant, that many of our neighborhoods resemble third world Countires. In many places, the deteroration of the infrastructure has rendered homes hazardous, toxic, and determintal to the health of the families who live there. Meanwhile, the Congressional Black Caucus and other Black politicians continue to fight for the rights of illegal immigrants, while ignoring the Black people who live in their districts and voted them into office, thus causing those people to be excluded from any chance of obtaining stability in their lives. But they want to talk about "DACA" though.........

Called the Black Belt because of its rich, dark soil, the area of south Alabama traversed by Highway 80 on its route across the southern U.S. was the staging ground for some of Alabama’s most significant moments in history. It was here that DeSoto met Tuscaloosa, cotton plantations flourished, the Confederacy was born, and civil rights were won. Follow Highway 80 through Demopolis, Selma, Montgomery, and Tuskegee on a journey through Alabama history. This 1999 documentary which I wrote, narrated and edited for the series, “The Alabama Experience,” includes nice camera work by Ricky Harmon. The series was produced by the University of Alabama Center for Public Television and broadcast on Alabama Public Television. I’ve never done anything exactly like this before or since.

Near the home sits a trailer that is occupied by her daughter and son-in-law. Underneath the home, the raw sewage is clearly present. The stench fills the air. In another location, the sewage is running across the road. People drive through it and children walk t...
"If you live in a society...and it doesn't enforce its own law because of the color of a man's skin...then...people are justified to resort to any means necessary to bring about justice..." — Malcolm X, Nation of Islam spokesman The Nation of Islam provokes controversy while promoting black pride, including creating black businesses and schools, and teaching Muslim beliefs. In 1963, Malcolm X becomes the national spokesman and his message of self-sufficiency and self-defense stands in stark contrast to the Civil Rights Movement's non-violence. As Malcolm X becomes nationally known, his words inspire many blacks, but with his increase in power, his relationship with the organization deteriorates. In February 1965, Malcolm X is assassinated. Malcolm X's philosophy survives, especially amon...
