SpiritHouse's Southern Initiative focuses on critical issues that impact the lives of African-Americans in the South, where more than 60% of African-Americans reside. Black people comprise a majority in 110 counties in the South. These Black Belt counties run from Virginia to Texas. They were once the seat of the Southern Freedom / Civil Rights Movement; today, they are still the breeding ground for poverty and white supremacy.
