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).

  1. 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.

  2. ❤ 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

  3. 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

  4. 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😂😂

  5. 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.

  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. "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.

  13. 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.
