Mayor Horhn Calls Out Racial Bias in Legislature

Jackson’s mayor, John Horhn, took a bold stand in federal court, revealing that racial bias still shapes decisions in the state Legislature—and he’s not backing down. Despite his hopeful vision for a new chapter in city-state relations, Horhn insists progress demands honest reckoning, not silence. His testimony echoes past calls for accountability, especially as he navigates collaboration with lawmakers—including Governor Tate Reeves, who recently shifted course to fund Jackson’s recovery. Yet Horhn warns that Black lawmakers’ priorities remain sidelined, and without real change, the state’s future hangs in the balance.
