- A Community Called Orange Mound, premiering Monday, February 4 at 9:00 p.m. on WKNO/Channel 10, is the story of a southeast Memphis neighborhood with a surprising legacy. The broadcast of the 60-minute documentary is sponsored by The New Olivet Baptist Church; Fred L. Davis Insurance Agency; and Tim Thompson, author of The Locker Room.
Established on the grounds of the former Deaderick plantation, Orange Mound was one of the first communities in the United States to be built entirely by and for African Americans. The self-contained community that emerged attracted not only laborers and domestic workers, but also doctors, lawyers, businessmen, and teachers, all of whom were proud to call Orange Mound home.
"One of the closest-knit groups in Memphis, the residents of Orange Mound are still intensely loyal to the neighborhood that has been home to many families for generations," said producer Jay Killingsworth. "And they all say the same thing: even though they can live elsewhere and have had opportunities to do so, Orange Mound is home and that is where they intend to stay."
Greatest community in the world! Orange Mound, Tennessee 38114

Born n raised n my hood Orange Mound, Tn, and my school Melrose High. Home of the Golden Wildcats. Select ST.
My brother and sister graduated from Melrose in 1969 they were so proud
Yay, Golden Wildcats ! Missin' Orange Mound. ...the way it was back in the day!
thank you for this informative account of Orange Mound. I lived in the next community over called Magnolia and we had a choice to pick either Hamilton or Melrose and we chose Melrose. I am so very glad we did even though Hamilton is a very fine school too. at Melrose I met the most wonderful friends an people I could ask for. exceptional teachers who cared about you. principals who would get on you for tardiness. students hung out at hamburger place on park an the food was great. I lived next door to Ronnie Robinson so you know I was proud to tell people that. even the popular kids weren't snobbish about it. everybody fit in. my class was the last and largest ever that graduated from the old Melrose. record. so I was proud of that too. thanks Orange Mound for the many memories and love you gave me. you will always be like home to me.
Ronnie Robinson that played ball for Memphis state?
Hamilton High is not a fine school. I went there in 1998 and it was a large collection of mentally damaged teenagers.
@@CourtneyWms901 them niggas was checkin out the frame tho
Memphis is so full of history black history!!!!
Excellent documentary - excellent!
I adore my city so much man we need to clean up our city and clear out the violence
Bruce St., Orange Mound, TN. Melrose class of 1993. Thank you.
Great documentary! Grandparents left the country and moved to the Mound 🙌🏾👌🏾
Haha I see what u did there...throwing up the orange mound sign
I once thanked my grandmother for moving to and staying in Orange Mound when she came from Mississippi instead of going on to St. Louis and Chicago as others did.
I love attending mass reunions with my parents. My mom and dad are class of '65, me in "84, and brother class of '89.
Thought the orange mound sign was 2 fingers round and 3 fingers down pretty much this 👌upside down@@JonJon-du9ne
Ced Wilson won a ring with the Steelers as a receiver.
I used to stay on Pendleton St at a singer's friend apartment in 2014 and sometimes in 2016 and 2017. Never got trouble...as a musician, a french "vanilla face" surrounded by great grown ups, all afro-american, knowing exactly what's goin' on down there, and other hoods. I mean like in any place potentially dangerous or highly dangerous you gotta know the c o d e s - and be discret and look around. Adapting and finding my way thru the urban jungle. But hey fellas, got great friends, my bros & sisters there, and I missed them because first I learnt from them a lot, from rough life...and from the hardest can born the happiest! And still this amazing city with its major musical influences on this planet! Experience Mud Island and the shops, that's absolutely safe if it's what you're wishing. Whatever, Memphis I love you
I am from Arkansas regular visitor to Memphis I have drove thew the community a few times I liked watching this I learned a lot I love Memphis it’s a great place
Some very good God-fearing people.
Nice documentary love da Mound Orange Mound raised Marechalneil St. Made.

Lol, u right...
smh
Absolutely
Grand St 1100 Block love my community wish we could do better bring us some business back and bring back proud and educate people who care about this community we all have a part in this Memphis work together.
I find this to be a very interesting documentary. Things I took from it worth noticing : the self discipline among blacks when they were glad to have a school to go to and get an education.....also, the two fathers talking about everyone knew each other and would not put up with foolishness among kids.And also notice the family unit was a complete one ( with fathers being around) and that started to change around the time of the war on poverty in the 60's. The black family unit took a hit much like the American Indians did when our government removed the need to be self reliant.
nice doc, needs more views. ive always been afraid of the area, changed my view of it.
What u afraid of?
You giving me a millington/ Lucy area vibe.
My dad from orange mound and my grandma lived in orange mound..so we saw as kids how tight nit the mound was and is..my daddy made sure every Friday we went to the games..the classic parade every year to this day.. even tough he has moved outta town when he visits he always goes to the mound..Raymond St.
Kennedy McKinney was the FIRST OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST FOR MELROSE...CLASS OF 1984 ALONG WITH Rochelle Stevens 84' and Sheila Echols 82'...
Tell me about the Beltline, please.

The music from "American Trilogy" ( the third part) at the end was inspiring and sad at the same time. Check out the performance of this song by Mickey Newbury.

Like 20 minutes
5:47 song name please
Orange mound born and raised.. SPOTTSWOOD
This is a great film. If only all of Black America realized its history. I wish this could be played for every hoodie standing on the corner, wasting away their lives. You come from a proud, productive people. Reclaim your place in society by doing what your ancestors did---moving forward in spite of all efforts to hold you back. I don't think a black man would kill another black man so needlessly if he knew his history. All schools with predominately black populations should make Black History a required course. Even Memphis has still not put this requirement in place. Want to save your race? Teach the children their true history.
Why do you think they feel that way? A lot has changed since those days and wickedness came in like a serpent in the garden. Gangs, drugs, r*pe, incest, guns, and other things that were given to them to ruin their community and who did it? The government. You can't just play this and hope that's it, they truly need to understand that someone is listening. You know how many black celebrities chastise those in the hood yet don't really do much to go there and actually help them? What if Three 6 Mafia had stopped ripping off Memphis rappers, rapping about Satan and pimping and instead actually came back to the hood to help them with their new founded resources and even made songs championing those in the hood who weren't just their robbing buddies or music buddies? They need leaders and those who won't just tell them how much they're failing but to really understand why they go through what they go through because there's more there wanting to change than you realize but the system saw a black community built by a black community for the black community, do you think it's just because they haven't thought their poverty away? Look at all the money that goes into Bartlett, Germantown, Cordova, and Collierville and look how little is given to communities from South to North Memphis such as Orange Mound. It's deeper than them reclaiming their place, it's about how do they reclaim their identity.
The narrator said "An entire economy was based on slave labor and their owners would rather go to war then have that system fade." Abraham Lincoln promised in his inaugural speech to maintain the status quo of slavery. It has become common to blame the civil war on slavery but in fact the war ended slavery earlier then if they had remained in the Union.
Indigenous Americans...descendants of the ancient Mississippian people AKA the moundbuilders
👍🏿 North Memphis 🤙🏿 South Memphis 👌🏿 Orange Mound 🍊
used to know someone who made and sold T-shirts for the high school in orange mound ...think they called him the t-shirt man
33:40 smh
bus to white station,,,,,wanted to go to Melrose with my friends
Makes sense. Prior to the earthquakes from December 1811-February 1812, settlers along the Eastern seaboard were denied access deeper into the continent. Everything since has been conquest & the murder that goes with it.
I have heard from 2 different older people plus an old DJ Paul verse where he mentioned "Queens Mound". Can anyone in this comment section confirm that Orange Mound was once called Queens Mound?
The question i have is what happened?
This government run operation called Co-intelPro flooded black neighborhoods with crack cocaine to fund a secret war in South America...THAT'S what happened... The Mound didn't get skipped over...I saw it change almost in just old year...but Orange Mound is coming BACK!!!!
Too bad it hasn't been taken care of. It's one of the worst areas of town. Very sad.

It may be a rough area, but we and everyone tht lives there or has lived there have tht pride, I'm proud to have been raised there, it made me strong, spottswood and kent👌
