Real Gangstas of Black History: Mound Bayou

Wypipologist Michael Harriot takes us back to Mound Bayou, Mississippi, the birthplace of the civil rights movement. A place where T.R.M. Howard, Medgar Evers, Fannie Lou Hamer, Katie Hall, Isiah Montgomery, and Aretha Franklin all have a connection. Learn why this sacred place is a part of "The Real Gangstas of Black History" series on theGrio Daily.

"It was the only place in Mississippi and almost the entire South where Jim Crow didn't exist"
