5.1.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Mound Bayou: Mound Bayou: Oldest Black Town In America. Truth About Black Farmworkers & White South Africans
Tonight, we will explore the history of this significant town, founded in the late 19th century by former slaves, and its crucial role in African American history. Mound Bayou, a farming community, stands as a beacon of hope and progress amid the challenges of segregation and racial oppression.
Reports indicate that black farmworkers are losing their jobs to white South Africans; however, folks here say that's just one aspect of the situation.
We will discuss what is happening in the nation's oldest all-Black municipality.
