This is a photograph of a store in Amite County, Mississippi. Several years ago when Mr. Leon Dunn was living he told me and his niece Paulette about the store. He said the black men would gather at this store early in the morning waiting for trucks to pick them up for farm work. Mr. Leon Dunn said his father Theodore Dunn was a logger who owned his own truck. This store was located in the Berwick community in Amite County, Mississippi. The store was ran and operated by Wallace and Mamie Jackson.
