I can trace my roots back to Mound Bayou. My grandmother’s grandmother was a slave in Mississippi and when slavery ended she settled in Mound Bayou. All of my mother’s siblings and both of her parents were born in Mound Bayou. I look forward to visiting someday.

I cry because this is our Beautiful History that is forgotten and never shown. Our people and communities are Blinded by degrading rap music, Black on Black crime, and lack of Knowledge. I have always Loved the History of Isaiah and his father Ben Montgomery building this Amazing city! God Bless thier Souls and the great people of Mound Bayou!🖤

We are the American Indians written in the US Constitution,but reclassified under the civilly dead misnomer Black & African Americans

When I was a child, my mother's doctor was Dr. T.R.M. Howard. I remember the caricature of himself that he had hanging from his wall that said "The doctor from Mound Bayou, Mississippi. He seemed to be quite proud of that.

My visit was so worth braving the heat and riding my motorcycle out to the museum. Thank you for all you’re doing to tell the amazing story of Mound Bayou. I had never heard of Mound Bayou and I am so glad that now I have and I will continue to spread the word about Mound Bayou to everyone I can.

I just found this... My mother was born here in 1954

Too bad Montgomery was one of the First raCOONS of our day

Beautiful just Beautiful!

Thank you for this story.

The people he's speaking to are from Marquette University.

Thank you for sharing. 🎉🎉🎉

We had a great time in Mound Bayou. Marquette University thanks you!

Yeah he’s absolutely not a doc

When will the school open?

Sad that Amazon had to plug themselves in the 1st sentence in the museum description. Thanks Amazon Prime I guess?

I got to see this museum

Since the settlers of Mound Bayou came from Warren County,MS the current residents of Mound Bayou probably have relatives in Warren County,MS.

Love it.

My father was born there in 1899.

🖤🖤

Very much needed archival ! Thank you

Why would anyone choose to move from Germany back to America

Wow

In addition to Mound Bayou, Winstonville,Renova, Expose in Lincoln County,MS and Falcon in Quitman County,MS was founded by Black people.

You dont even have the delta in ur shitty state stfu

My family is from Mound Bayou, MS. I remember visiting as a child. The mosquitos there are no joke!!!

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!

I believe one reason many people don’t talk about Mound Bayou’s history is because of jealousy and that is from both Black and White people.

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.

I wonder was Merigold founded by Black people too since Mound Bayou,Winstonville,and Renova are all right there together.

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.

I’m wondering if you have any information on the Newells, my father was born there in 1899. I have no records from him.

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
