Mississippi is the state with the highest-percentage black population (37 percent) and also the largest number of black elected officials (more than 850). But nearly all were elected by constituencies - cities, counties or congressional districts - where a majority of voters were black.

"There are a whole lot of things that can determine in a racially sensitive country how race plays" in politics, said Ron Walters, who helped run Jesse Jackson's presidential campaigns and is now a professor at the University of Maryland.
