If you thought government sanctioned discrimination was a thing of the past, you haven’t been to Camilla, GA. The City of Camilla is comprised of a 70% African-American population and has an elected Black mayor, but city council voted to not give him keys to his own office at City Hall.
Mayor Rufus Davis talked to Rashad Richey about the city’s policies, which include Blacks not being allowed to be buried next to Whites, all White school age children in the city go to an all-White private school, and there are no African-American police officers just to name a few.
Mayor Davis is now protesting his own city and will refuse to sit in council meetings until his city is desegregated.
After winning the deciding vote, this mayor has a huge task in front of him.
This city isn’t even desegregated. No joke.
According to CBS Atlanta, this is something most Americans thought was in the past. However, the city of Camilla, Georgia is showing its true face today. The source says Camilla city council literally voted against handing over the keys to Mayor Davis’ City Hall office.
Mayor Davis also cited concerns over a $40,000 pay raise and proposed contract extension for the retiring city manager.
"Today we are urging the public to beware of and reject these extremely unfair policies and practices," Mayor Davis said in the statement, which he concluded with #CamillaGaIsNotOk.
Mayor Davis says Tallahassee attorney Ben Crump will be representing him.

African-American Mayor In Georgia Can't Get The Keys To His Office
In an interview with Rashad Richey via 1380 WAOK, Davis discussed city policies of Camilla — and you’d best believe they’re something from the early 1900’s.
Note: Mind you, this city is where the 1868 Camilla Massacre took place. Several hundred Blacks marched 30 miles to Camilla to protest a Republican rally.
The Georgia Virtual Library notates as follows. “As the marchers entered the courthouse square in Camilla, whites opened fire, killing at least thirteen of the marchers and wounding nearly forty.”
A depiction of the historic-level corruption in Camilla. It seems this fearful mentality still holds tight. According to Mayor Davis, currently in Camilla, Blacks aren’t allowed to be buried next to whites.
