NIXA, MISSOURI

What was Nixa’s role in historical racism? What WEREN’T you taught in history classes?

Nixa is 90% white, with 18.5 thousand white residents. In Nixa, there are only 31 black residents. Source.

What does this say about the culture of Nixa? What does this have to say about who feels comfortable living here, and who does not?

How does this compare to the overall United States population? Let’s see.

With this in mind, we really must question why Nixa is so, so white. What were the forces that determined this?
