On our recent trip to Mound Bayou, Mississippi, we met with Dr. Donald Evans, pro-Black advocate and founder of NAAFRA.
In his interview with our road trip photographer, Velissa, he talked about Mound Bayou's history and his reasons for moving there.
One interesting fact about this town is that former slaves founded it in 1887.
They built Mound Bayou to be a self-reliant and autonomous all-black community that thrived for a long time.
In this episode, you'll learn more about Mound Bayou's history and how things are today.
