Eastland

The Walmart, which is located at 2753 E. Eastland Center Drive, opened in 2012 and filled the anchor position in the Eastland Center shopping plaza.

Over the course of his career, Eastland served as the acting vice president twice because of vacancy.

In 1941, the year her son was born, James Oliver Eastland was appointed to the Senate to fill a vacancy.

As a senator seven years later, Eastland successfully led a campaign to block a federal anti-lynching bill.

In fact for nearly 40 years, voters in Mississippi sent Eastland to Washington to fight against civil rights, and he didn’t disappoint.
