**This show airs "LIVE" August 16, 2013 8-10pm CST** On this weeks edition of Center Stage we will look at the living conditions of Glendora, MS. A city currently surviving without a hospital, ambulance service, police department, public transportation, recreation center, nursing home or daycare center. These are city services normally afforded to every city and town. The median household income in Glendora, MS is around $7,500 a year. Mayor Johnnie Thomas says 99% of his 285 citizens are low income or impoverished and 100% are African Americans. To my amazement I found Glendora, MS is the home of the Emmett Till Memorial Museum. The teen murdered in the 1950s controversial hate crime. Ironically, Glendora was chosen as the location of the museum because this was the home town of the murderers of Emmett Till.
