After the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, large numbers of Tensas Parish blacks were able to register to vote. These new black voters were staunchly Democratic. Since then, the parish has been a Democratic stronghold. However, some white Democrats have continued to win some public offices in the parish, including sheriff Rickey A. Jones and several school board members. The National Voting Rights Act of 1965 (42 U.S.C. Â§ 1973-1973aa-6)[1] outlawed the requirement that would-be voters in the United States take literacy tests to qualify to register to vote, and it provided for federal registration of voters in areas that had less than 50... 1965 (MCMLXV) was a common year starting on Friday (the link is to a full 1965 calendar). ...

Tensas Parish was desegregated at one time in the fall of 1970. However, the schools remain de facto segregated by parental decisions. The majority of white students attend the private Tensas Academy in St. Joseph^{[citation needed]}. Nearly all African American students attend the public schools, whereas few whites are registered^{[citation needed]}. Enrollment in the public system, now based in St. Joseph, has been declining in recent years. Former high schools and elementary schools in Newellton and Waterproof have closed because of declining enrollments. Tensas Parish High School in St. Joseph is the latest consolidation of the former Davidson High School of St. Joseph as well as Newellton and Waterproof high schools.

Tensas Parish in 1900

St. Joseph numbered no more than 720 residents (and Tensas Parish, 19,070) at the turn of the twentieth century, most having been engaged in cotton growing and related river work. The pages of the Tensas Gazette between 1890 and 1914 often read like notes from a church social and still do to a great extent. Almost everybody in St. Joseph's white society seemed to know everybody else, from the mayor to the sheriff to society belles to the druggist, and the bailiff at the parish jail, a kindly old "colored" man, as African Americans were then called, named "Collins." 1890 (MDCCCXC) was a common year starting on Wednesday (see link for calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Friday of the Julian calendar). ...

This was the same Tullis family that had slaves on its St. Joseph plantation and who remained prominent social and political leaders in the parish for many years after the Thirteenth Amendment ended chattel slavery. It was the same Tullis family whose matriarch, Sarah Tullis, had educated at least one slave in defiance of Louisiana law.

Garner H. Tullis, a son of Hugh Tullis and the former Nellie Watson, was born in St. Joseph in 1893. He became a prominent businessman and civic leader in New Orleans.

The old Tensas Gazette was filled with events and scenes from the lives of white people in the Delta region before and after 1900. The people who toiled to support their way of life, the slaves and freedmen, were a mere faceless backdrop to the stories. Entire columns in the Gazette were given over to quaint descriptions of the most arcane happenings of small town life. http://www.ucpress.edu/books/pages/9239/9239.ch01.html

Tensas Parish is considered the fastest declining parish in the state. No other parish has lost such a large percent of its population as has Tensas. Every year families, mostly white, leave the parish, seeking a more convenient life near more urbanized areas. The exodus throws the parish even further behind economically and socially.
