The Story of Chinese Grocers in the Mississippi Delta. After slavery ended, Chinese immigrants came to the Mississippi Delta looking for opportunity — and found themselves caught in the middle of a segregated South.

The Mississippi Delta had a small but important Chinese community whose history was shaped by the rigid racial hierarchy of the Jim Crow South. Many Chinese immigrants first arrived in the Delta in the late 1800s and later opened grocery stores that often served Black farming communities. Living in a system that divided society strictly between Black and white, Chinese families were often placed somewhere in the middle, navigating pressure, survival, and questions of identity. 📢Calling all FOUN

🇺🇸 This Veterans Day, we honor the Chinese American servicemen from the Mississippi Delta who served in World War II. Many of their families ran small grocery stores and lived in segregated Southern towns. Yet, they volunteered to defend a country where they didn’t always have equal rights. Their service reminds us: Asian American history is American history. Even when it isn’t widely taught. Even when their stories were nearly forgotten. Over 20,000 Chinese Americans from across the U.S. serv
