Norman, OK – Okfuskee County is home to what was once the largest all-black community in the country and legendary Dust Bowl-era folk singer Woody Guthrie. It also has the highest poverty rate in Oklahoma.
Decades after Guthrie recorded his songs about the struggles of the workingman, hard times continue in Okfuskee County.
That's especially true for tiny Boley, a historic, mostly black town that's among the poorest in the area.
