Omeria Scott
Omeria McDonald Scott is an American Democratic politician. She is a member of the Mississippi House of Representatives from the 80th District, being first elected in 1992. She was also an award-winning cheerleader for R.H. Watkins High School in Laurel, Mississippi, in the early days of integration. In high school she was a positive force in bridging relationships in the greater community of Laurel, Mississippi, at a time when it was especially dangerous to do so, given that the grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, Devours Nix, lived in Laurel, Mississippi, at this time.
