Mound Bayou, what an amazing story of untold Black history.
We see you Mound Bayou 😃 from California and has spread the news about you to ALL the folks, thank you for the history lesson, now that you are on UA-cam their is a permanent record on the Internet. God bless the story tellers 🙏 I would love to visit the museum.
This needs to be shown in every high school history class. Come on history teachers, do your job!
The history teachers are taught lies. With all due respect, they can't teach the truth when they were never taught it to begin with.

Agreed.
@@moundbayoumuseum1887 You people don't understand education. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO TEACH YOUR CHILD THAT. IT IS UP TO YOU.
My name is Rosie Woodard Turner. I was born in Mound Bayou, MS. My Parents owned their own business...my Dad was farmer...my Mom owned her restaurant called Corney Island Restaurant, best food in the town. My parents had 8 children. 2 girls (Ann & me), 6 brothers. We were so blessed to have all the things right here in Mound Bayou. We had bank, hospital,grocery stores, barbers shops, schools, cotton gins, etc. Mound Bayou was thriving and blessed. I have learned so much by listen to these historical stories by these blessed gentlemen who still lives in Mound Bayou, Miss. Thank you so much.
I lived in St. Louis, MO. College graduate. Happy Black History. God bless Mound Bayou, Ms...Ms. Rosie Woodard Turner 2/29/2024
Thanks for your encouragement. We are still telling your stories. If you happen to have pictures with the history, we would love to add them to our collections.
You may call Darryl Johnson at 662-641-0119
@moundbayoumuseum1887 I will talk to my brother Roosevelt, who is a college graduate, and like me, he went on to get his master degree. He is three years older than me. He might have pics. He lives in Birmingham, AL.
I also have one sister who stayed in Mound Bayou. She is 5 years older than me. She got her B.S.Degree from Miss Valley State U; Master Degree from Delta State College, Cleveland, Ms. Still lives in Miss, a city called Lamber, MS. School was disheartened teacher & principal for 35 years. She might have pictures. I'll contact her and let you know. God is good. I my first job was with McDonnell Douglas now Boeing Corp. I was recruited/hired before I ever finished my undergraduate degree. As soon as I finished college, I moved to St. Louis and work for amazing aicraft co for 31 yrs. I had some amazing positions there. Got change to be an aircraft material planner. Purchased fighter aircrafts, traveling the USA; later hired to supervisor Small Business Administration & Diversity and last 10 years I went back to buying fighter aircrafts (Sr. Purchasing Agent). Million $$$ parts for these fighters' aircrafts F18, F15, T45, AV-8B ( Harrier), and more. I am telling you this because I was blessed by God and had such a wonderful career until I retired. I am going to find. Locate pictures, etc, to add to this amazing, Black History Museum in Mound Bayou, Miss. My birth home. Praise God! Thank You, LORD God.
Praise Yahweh ♥️ 👏 🙌 🖤❤️💛💚🙏🏻🌹
Thank you for posting this for the world to see and hear. Our struggle continues.
I’m glad for things like this on social media because when you think about this I never learned this in school or a lot of things about black history finally finding out through social media that they learned in school
My home town. I was just there last August and October of last year 22'. I still feel proud when I go back there,
Please visit the museum when you come home.
Significant, and historical. This telling of a jewel in USA History is to be known
Warmest Greetings,🎉 🎉🎉
I love you, Mound Bayou. Emmitt Till and Mamie Moses, both of you RIHP. You were our civil rights... through out Miss. I watched the movie Emmitt Till and the documentary last year. I left that movie in tears and praying. We still have a long way to go before we are free and not discriminated against. Learn your history. Your minds are a terrible thing to waste.
People know your Black History. The Bible tells us people perished because of their lack of knowledge and understanding. Do you know who Harriet Tubman was? Learn your history and teach your children. Not trying to make them become racist, just so they will know their history and Black roots. God bless
Thanks - we have a way to go, but "Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us," is our faith as we march forward.
Knowledge of the past effects our future
Yes it does. ..
Great information. Incredible housing and community history .👍Newly freed slaves throughout the American South had homes, a school, etc. Descendants of American slaves from the Maryland Eastern Shore to Mississippi and throughout the Bible beltway should learn their history, preserve their history and have it protected. Maryland Eastern Shore created a new Harriet Tubman museum as well as Charleston, South Carolina. Maryland’s first free slaves community was founded around 1740. Throughout the South all free slave communities should be protected. We must pray to save the American South from over development because of our cemeteries and history of our ancestors.
Thanks for your comment and for bringing awareness to our story.
Thank God for our elders who continue to educate us. Our ignorance (lack of knowledge) is our downfall. History is an important aspect of understanding our present and fighting for the future we want and deserve. Thank you for this documentary!
I can't wait to come to the museum, I was planning a trip to Mound Bayou in 2020 but the pandemic happened. My great grandfather was B.H. Creswell, he was a mayor of Mound Bayou. My cousins and I want to come visit.
We will be glad to host you. Several of the Creswell family visited here. We are honored to host you all at the Museum.
Please reach out to Tyler Perry so he can do a movie about the founders of such a great city.
When non-black immigrants and black immigrants come to the USA, they should know our history here in this country, and they should respect that if it wasn't for our elders, they could not thrive here.
Mississippi black folks caught hell for years God bless them.
Black immigrants? I don’t think so
I agree
@@kasheem1747as a African Jamaican I agree. Honor & respect due❤
😮knowing this history makes me extremely proud to be a descendant of Isaiah T Montgomery. One of the high points of my family's vacation last year was our visit to Mound Bayou, and the Museum.
The FACT that this documentary has not gotten over a thousand likes, and it's been out for a year,SPEAKS VOLUMES.
😢.
@sherleengibson I agree..... the views went from around 4 to 5k views to 50k views in less than a week. An interesting trajectory so far.
@Gorealaracer38 I agree with you. It's full of blatant lies. At 4:44 mark, he lied and said that Mound Bayou was founded by someone named "Davis Ben". The "founder" was actually "Benjamin" aka "Ben" T. Montgomery (Davis), who was the biological son of the so-called Black Man named, Joseph Emory Davis. Benjamin's last name states "Montgomery" on some records and, "Davis" on other records. They were not nor never "Slaves". I am a professional genealogist and I so sick and tired of these "agents" making up lies about our Ancestors. These beautiful people were the Aboriginal American Indians who mixed with the so-called Black Nobility of Europe. That's why we have these surnames. Stop lying on yours and mine, Ancestors! So-called White people were not in power until much later in history and did not start arriving to the America's, in large volumes, until the mid 1800's during the Potato Famine. Keep lying on our Ancestors and you will pay dearly. There's nothing as permanent as a "Spiritual" Karma.
I guess some people are not interested. Being a black woman, I would like this information to be shared nationally over the world. Some black people are just negative to the successful all Black Owned city. We need to have open-mindedness and be purpose driven. 🙏🏻 There must be a passion and hunger for Black History. ⚫️ ❤
Looooord this just makes me cry. I'm from Clarksdale, Mississippi right up the road. My grandmother was born and raised in Merigold, Mississippi. I'm currently doing research and learning more about the MS Delta and I'm just appalled at what I'm learning. This video gave me more insight. I'm apart of the Mixon Family Generation, My grandmother was Earline Mixon-Thomas. She had plenty of knowledge about the MS Delta and her grandfather was one of the best farmers in the Delta, Mr. Johnnie Mixon. The older, I get, the more I just become saddened.
This is from a "white" man, born and raised in MS, and I'm proud of it. Most of the history that is taught now is just lies and bs. Good luck, uncovering what you find out about the Delta.
I will say, this state has come a long way in the last 150 years, but you'll never hear anyone talk about that. I'm not saying we don't have further to go, but with the efforts of people like us. We'll get there.
Blessings to you.
My people from shuqulak where the choctaws reside!
@monicathomas3162 it is very sad - the horrors and atrocities Africans and their descendants have been through in this land. Keep researching. My mom's side is from MS and my father's side is from KY. I just found my enslaved great great great grandfather on a South Carolina estate inventory from 1790 after his owner died. The research is very dark and unimaginable. Keep pressing and good luck in your research!❤.
@@tanelise4673first thing we must do is STOP CALLING THESE PEOPLE AFRICANS!!!! my people are from MS and they called themselves indians. That African narrative was not from back in the day. That crap was introduced just so they can steal our people's lands. There's too much evidence about this we have to stop the lies that we were told from tv!!
@tanelise4673 , it's very enlightening, absolutely amazing!
Thank you for this story.
Thank you for sharing. I thank God for continuing to give Us His Amazing Grace to carry on. We are still here and going strong.🙏
WoW! Mound Bayou had it going on
👏🏿 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I love history. Grateful for this video. Thanks so much. I never knew about Mound Bayou Mississippi
I was born in Mound Bayou, Ms. All black needs to know their black history. And be proud you know the truth...
I was born around these parts and makes me smile to learn some rich history about the delta...Ruleville Ms us where i grew up at home of Fannie lou Hammer...my family as well she raised my aunties
I have family members in Rulevlle... I remember visiting my grandparents there in the late 70s
my fathers side of the family is from Winstonville. I had no idea about the history until now. I was born and raised in Michigan and always have been a staunch activist and supporter of the black family! i have now moved to west africa and fully overstand where I come from! i hold the spirit of this town!
We are not Africans we are the bloodline of this land
@@HawkemCinco what are you talking about
Great unknown history!
Came across this from Jim Crow Laws History. I don't think I have smiled this bright for a long time the way this video made me smile. You folks in the US are real time heroes of survival. I personally don't understand how blacks just keeps surviving and living on in a nation with its foundation, Environmental structural institutional measures of function and its history of USA. Certainly, I would prefer to survive fight my life by establishing and building a Mound Bayou Town,City,Nation and Continent. If life is already pre-destined and orchestrated to be about painful survival. Painful Survival which means never ending suffering, war, attacks, affliction and always blood being hunted. It is better to spend the painful life fighting. Fighting for my life to live a peaceful life, a life without White Supremacy like the Heroes of Mound Bayou did. I credit them heroism big time. Just look at all they achieved by separating themselves from white people. I agree, since Jim Crow already said white and black should not co-exist. Then we can create and build our own black town!. All they achieved, working double, triple and more than white man to achieve. Yet they achieved. And black folks who went working double, triple and more among white folks fighting white supremacy achieved nothing! Yeah yeah, choose your battle field carefully! Very inspiring
Thanks for your comment.
Glory...I was born in Mound Bayou. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this history. This is Lovie Duncan 52, and I want to tell you that I truly loved the narration of your video. Everything I mostly agreed with, except the part about African and slavery supposedly being because we were from Africa, but of course we are not. My people the Chickasaw were removed from Mississippi those areas close to the Nile aka Mississippi River. We are the Hebrews aka Copper Colored aborigines aka Indians aka Negro as most negro people of Turtle Island aka Atlantis aka America. Most of our technology and businesses and agriculture and architecture were copied off of us and stolen so that others got the credit and our money that should have gone to us, the Hebrews aka Jacob Renamed Israel. That just goes to show how this is not our war, this war belongs to God, because in the end, we gonna win. So we shout now.
We are excited about your response and your work. It has been proven that we cannot express the correct historical route for all African Americans entering the US. Still, we are exposing as much of the truth that has been hidden, deleted, and covered to keep us from knowing. Thank you for your work of exposing history, as we continue revealing the truth - which makes us free.
We have a glorious history!
Excellent & very informative!!!!!!
This is a jewel of an uncovering.... Thank You , sincerely.💚💯
My mother and great aunt would talk about Mound Bayou with pride. Both were from a small town Midnight Ms.
This is my birth place, but the Murphy family was from Cleveland, Mississippi. We never lived in Mound Bayou. It was the reputation of the doctor that made this my birth place.
Thank you for sharing this unknown part of American History! Is a great video, and the two gentleman narrating the past like a storytelling remind me of my dad!
Wow
Very much needed archival ! Thank you
Thank you for recognizing the importance of our history!
My mom came from Mound Bayou, Mississippi. She is part of the Casey family who migrated to the north. I need to find out more about her history
and Mound Bayou.
Take some time to come back to Mound Bayou and also you can visit us at moundbayoumuseum.org
I'm a Micou and doing my family tree brought me here.
An excellent documentary.
Hi my name is Grant Bell, n I'm from that area, Renova,Ms, keep up the good work...😊
I am so glad to view this and to be able to share it across my social media platforms.
My maternal grandparents are from here, born and raised. They were married and had children here. They left because they didn't want to raise their children here. My grandfather wouldn't bring us to visit either. No matter how much we begged. 😢
My grandparents left and I am glad they did. I could not imagine living under such conditions. Sitting in the back of the bus, one room school house, different water foundations, LYNCHINGS. They have been gone 104 years. The North has its problems, but I'd rather be here than there.
Praise you, thank you for your time and effort.
It was the grit, the blood, the sweat, the agony and tears to say no more and fight back, petition, march in protest to stir change.
The amendments and laws that came into being giving human rights have benefited all minorities, women, all classes and cultural persuasion - cause during MLKs time he was being told that change will come BUT not now, wait.... wait and Martin said if not now when. Cause if stand up can't nobody get on your back and hold you down.
I grew up in Cleveland not far from Mounds Bayou...I remember going to the all black hospital there in the 70s
I’m from Amory , MS and this is my first time hearing about MB😮
Now, please share this info so others will know their true black history. Tell the world. People must know this real history of this only Black Owned City in Mississippi.
A movie needs to be made of this Black History city. Put us back on map. I wish I had the funding to really write more history books on Mound Bayou and movie. Glory
@@rosieturner635 Absolutely!! 🫶🏽
OH What Joy I Feel Down In My SOUL
❤great info
Thank you for this history lesson Did your father go to valley state if so we were friends Paul James
This is a film that is part of black history and should be a part of high-school curriculum
The republicans say it will harm their children intellectual growth. Now that's an ignorant way of reasoning and thinking on their behalf. It will no longer be buried now that our can communication is faster and broader.🖤✊🙏💯
For sure. Make sure you visit us at moundbayoumuseum.org
Sorry wrong Moment.....The solution begins with Your Maker. He has a timeline. Might want to check ✅ with Him First. The Sea is held back by who??? Do you wait on man to tell you everything. No wonder only 1.1 percent of the revenue goes on Our legar. Only 3 percent owned firms- to Folks 85 percent of firms.....And y'all think that's normal that we don't own our Own Communities and Economic Clout.....But there is a Bigger Clout ... Look upwards, might spot HIM. When last y'all look up at the sky??? Really look. I guess they have to tell you that too.
The amerikkkan educational system is not designed to educate.
@@moundbayoumuseum1887 That is the problem, it is not a part of the curriculum. It is up to YOU. Go to the libraries, museums, exposes, etc. I'm a retired educator. I know what I am talking about and what I had to do for my child.
Thank you 🙏
That ace of spade under the table backfire every time
Stay on the roof or stay away from my house
This is so interesting. I’m sharing on my community wall.
Good job AARP
Thanks for sharing
Much respect for having lived through so much social, racial and economic hardship & adversity in our diverse ethnic collective as being an important part of Mississippi & US history & while against all odds retaining cultural dignity & identity as a humble & enlightened people with unwavering intent & purpose.
Both of my parents are from Mound Bayou🙏🏽
Bravo 🌹
Blessings ✨️ Yahweh, I thank you for my Tribes of this world ❤🙏🏽😢
Just beautiful! Do this town still exist?
It does. Going strong. Visit us at moundbayoumuseum.org
@@moundbayoumuseum1887 Thank you for answering my question.
Yes. The white race has learned from us and not the other way around,
Great history 🎉🎉.
Can this documentary be bought in DVD format?
To say that there was no more racism would be incorrect. Note he said they saw us as green. The relationship was based on them being able to profit from them. When you see my humanity, then racism is destroyed.
incredible, important history!... MBAGA!
I suggest you send your full staff on a trip around the states together and see who stays where they are or who comes back
When who kicks the door in at your house then you can talk to me about what's fair and unfair
😅Should be the first place to get reparations...
Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe, this will be so helpful to the museum. Please visit us at moundbayoumuseum.org
Much like current state of achievements and accomplishments things get disregarded, and covered up or outright changed.
How the heck they drain the swamp..hmmm🤔
This is truly amazing, thank you to everyone from the producers together narrators. My mother was born in Mississippi.🫡🌎

Glory glory HALLELUJAH ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Excellent.
Thanks for listening. Please visit us at moundbayoumuseum.org
This is a great documentary. I never heard of Mound Bayou before. We have so much history. We're definitely the people in the bibe. Read Deuteronomy 28 those were our Ancestors coming out of Egypt to the promise land. Jesse Jackson started the name Black we have been call all kinds of biwords everything is in the bible our history. Any immigrat that comes here should be thanking our people because civil rights made it possible for them to be here and alot of our people have already been here before the white man. We're made in the Most High Image we're his chosen people. But you don't learn that in church or anywhere else read your bible family. We're put at the bottom but grand rising family we'll be at the top you can see the changes already Our Father is going to gather his children us. And his son going to set matters straight.
Obviously our history needs to be rewritten and tell the truth. Native Americans Blacks and Irish were among many who were discriminated against
Thank you. What do we do?
this town could be revitalized, we take control of our own governing and turn it into a "black wallstreet" if only we had conscious leaders. the structures are already there.
You are Absolutely 100% right. The town was initially founded by people with a forward looking vision in a much more treacherous time than now and they succeeded and prospered. That success is much more available in these times.
THEY HAD SMALL TOWNS IN MISSISSIPPI, ON ENTERING THESE TOWNS THEY HAD SIGNS UP SAYING N READ AND RUN IF YOU CAN'T READ ANY WAY. IT MISSISSIPPI, LAUGH AND HOLLIE MISSISSIPPI. THAT'S MEAN THAT IF YOU WERE BLACK IN THAT TOWN AND YOU HAD TO LAUGH YOU WOULD HAVE TO PUT YOUR HEAD INTO A BARREL TO LAUGH AND HOLLIE INTO.
Very interesting. Some good historical facts. But he was kind of exaggerating a little bit
What was the exaggeration?
@@Hermonator007 I would like to retract the last part of my statement. I don’t want to die on that hill. What Mr. Montgomery accomplished after leaving Davis Bend was nothing short of a miracle. After reconsidering the times and locations of all of his hard work, I realized that he deserves all the accolades and more. Everyone in America should know his name. Thank you for all you do to keep his legacy alive.
@@terrencerandle1184Thanks for the reply, I think we as black people in this country have been severely shortchanged in the framing of who we really are as a people. The courageous stories of resilience and determination deserve honor respect and exaltation from us who benefit from that struggle. It just so happens that we're from this town and have taken it upon ourselves to relay this story to the public so everyone will know. No matter where we all are from we should all elevate ourselves through our amazing ancestors who stood up through much tougher times that we have experienced. Thanks and hopefully you can visit some time.

What changed tho… NOT A DAM THANG…. Still getting tortured in the streets of AMERIKKKA
It was that way in parts of Louisiana.
I wonder were the towns of Renova and Winstonville a part of Mound Bayou at one time since they are also towns founded by former slaves.
Renova and Winstonville were all connected to the founding of Mound Bayou.
Gold is good
Blacks were not only one discriminated against read history. Many Blacks accomplishments such as inventions etc were never mentioned in history. There were prosperous Black towns after they were freed
god..... ohhhh no..... does not exist.....
