Understand

The languid streets of this town hugging the Mississippi River seem to belie its booming entrepreneurial cotton market of the past, or the ugly race riot here of 1963 where white law enforcement descended upon a group of black protesters with horses and cattle prods, trying to root out a leader of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) named James Farmer. But it is a tranquil setting along the river, especially when visiting its main attraction, the Plaquemine Lock, and witnessing the grandeur of water and engineering.
