-     The Black Belt’s rich soil played a pivotal role in shaping the region's history and demographics. This fertile land transformed the area into an agricultural powerhouse, making it a cornerstone of the cotton economy, which was heavily reliant on enslaved African American labor. After the Civil War, many former slaves remained in the area, working as sharecroppers and tenant farmers. The region became a significant cultural and political area, particularly noted for its role in the civil rights movement. Despite its agricultural legacy, the Black Belt has faced economic and social challenges, including poverty and limited access to education and healthcare, which continue to impact its predominantly Black population.

      ### To mitigate heat-related risks, several safeguards can be implemented:
      - Improved Access to Cooling Centers: Establishing more cooling centers in rural areas can provide relief during extreme heat events
      - Health Monitoring Programs: Implementing regular health check-ups for older adults working in agriculture can help prevent heat-related illnesses
