J. Todd Moye, author of ''[[Let the People Decide: Black Freedom and White Resistance Movements in Sunflower County, Mississippi, 1945–1986]]'', said that "Life in Indianola still moves at a pace established by its distinguishing characteristic, the picturesque and languid Indian Bayou that winds through downtown."<ref name="Moye28"/>
