The Mound Bayou Memoirs: A Sneak Peek
§ 07 — The Story
Mound Bayou, Mississippi is one of America's oldest all-African American towns — founded in 1887 by formerly enslaved people. By the time Yasmine arrived, its stories were disappearing even from the memory of the people who lived there.
Over a year of fieldwork, she gathered testimonies, documents, and oral histories that now form part of a living archive — the first podcast-based oral history project to achieve primary source citation status for this community at Grinnell College.
Every story becomes the permanent record.
