I Explored All Black Towns In Rural MISSISSIPPI – This Is What I Saw
I visited these Mississippi towns: Mound Bayou, Jonestown, Coahoma & Hula. Afterwards, Nicole and I went to Clarksdale and hung out at the Ground Zero Blues Club (co-owned by Oscar winning actor Morgan Freeman).

Outstanding camera stability. Very interesting video. I saw no more than 10 people outside in the small towns. They look like bedroom communities now. I have always wondered how people earn money to live. Maybe in the next lively town.
I like these towns.
❤ I've heard of a town or a county that has np ZipCode. Does anyone know where this is or heard of. Joe & Nick maybe you could research ot youve heard of this. Love watching your videos Stay safe in your Travels
Where is everybody
Mound Bayou looks like a wonderful place to live. Being from Oakland, California. It looks very peaceful. Clean streets, nice neighborhoods. Just a nice place to live. I have family in Jackson, Canton and Yahzoo County Ms. But I like Mound Bayou. I want to buy a house there
Glad to see Walmart didn’t take over. Lol
Groceries stay at 100% on the numbers list you’re showing 😢
My Hometown, Mound Bayou Mississippi
My most gratitude goes out to my African American brothers and sisters for they have opened a path for their African and Caribbean brothers and sisters.
I was born in Mound Bayou in the 60s love being down south I lived in Farrell , Miss but I knew the towns that you drove through.! Thanks for sharing I really enjoyed your narrative. I am going to let my children and grandchildren see this. We live in Iowa now😂😂
Mound Bayou probably has a very interesting history of compromises with the state and region in order to remain existing. Apparently, there are quite a lot of literally sunken black towns To the point, New York City's Central Park was the location of two black villages before they were destroyed.
I totally agree that neighborhood is like a blessing that's for all black neighborhoods should look like in the United States black people working with each other instead of divided from each other
I would of brought my metal detector image what's under the ground you could probably find alot of good stuff since in its hay day there was alot of coins coming into people's pockets and that was perfect age for good coins i could image the treasures people lost back then
This is Anthony Stidhum my dad is From rhis special Place…Luv this place!!! M.V.S.U.

Is scary to be in this place so late at night

Why are all the trees dead can some one tell me?

My mother family were raised in Jonestown MS. 1934 thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you for the tour. 👏👏
Our family owns property in the county of Mound Bayou MS. it is Beautiful, quiet, and clean!
Yes. Love this guy Joe. Not the average Joe. Very nice like his name. I enjoy his tours. Reflects on how Americans live & gives us a perspective on across the America.
Yeah, it looks bad for most average Americans but at least they are not in a war zone and have peace.
Please don't tell anybody from California a house here costs 61 thousand. They will move here in droves to pay cash for a house and then run the price up of everything and the crime rate along with it too. Just look at colorado with all the people from california moving there.
I own commercial lots mosspoint 🎉🎉🎉
It possible they make it livable they got live somewhere hey might b squatters 😊😅
So how they broke they make 600 a week im in cincy I make 430$ a week an I got 2 bedroom house an I work everyday ..

May I ask why you do this , its really is beautiful. I dont mean no disrespect.
I need to move there its so peaceful and clean
BLACK WALL STREET
Have you driven through Itta Bena and given details on it's history?
No crime, low housing costs! If you can work from home, you should consider moving
Many of the freed slaves and the white people couldn’t read and write during that time. The reading and the writing part is not all of what kept the black peoples from voting. Many vote registrars changed the questions and required answers often. Wanting them to recite parts of the Mississippi Constitution at a whim.
Thanks for showing
I love this,, this is American History
You miss Shaw, Ms –
Great interesting and informative video; thank you! Just needed more of the Blues 🎶 at the end! ☺️
Very interesting. I like how simple this kind of living is. Impoverished obviously, however, charming. I’d promote it as Green Eco Tourism Towne with backpackers and events that match the towns character. To me, it looks like Lao to Thailand.
So where do people get their groceries?
I was hoping to see a grocery store and for you to meet some people in the town. Thank you for what you do. First time to see your movie.
High crime rate.
Why don't you just tell people you go to the abandoned places showing property were they use for storage
"President Roosevelt visited the town and said it was a shining example of what former slaves could do." Imagine what they could have achieved if not for being enslaved. That was the problem, and still is today.
Is that Jonestown in anyway connected to the place in the movie the Free State of Jones? They split from the Confederacy and rebelled against them during the Civil War.

I'm from Mississippi
Folks got cars though!!
