Castle Ruleville, MS 1998 |

| Everett Wilson (seated) works the door of the Black Castle club in Ruleville, MS on a Sunday afternoon when the club features blues and soul records played by a DJ. A sign posted at the entrance warns customers that no drugs or gang activity is permitted at the Black Castle. WilsonÕs father E.V. ÒJugÓ Wilson says that juke joints in the Delta now face a double threat not only from casino competition but also from the influence of drugs. ÒThe money you [used to make] on a Saturday night, them drug dealers [have] it,Ó says Wilson. ÒCause if you just got a little juke up there [on Greasy street], the [drug dealers] tote the biggest roll of money in there.Ó | ||||||||||
