Abstract
Macon/Bibb County, Georgia has always been a city with a disproportionately large Black population (just over 50%, as compared to 12.8% nationally and 30% statewide). Recent data show the population as 155,000, of which 20% live below the poverty level (U.S. Census, 2008). Macon/Bibb County has 41 public schools and 19 private schools (GeorgiaFacts.net, 2009).
