The neighborhood in the very first part of this video is where I grew up. It’s called Baptist Town. It’s also where Morgan Freemon once stayed when he was going to and graduated high school in Greenwood, Mississippi. The city is a shell of its former self. It was a vibrant town until all of the manufacturing jobs that were there went to Mexico and China in the early to mid 90s.

Let's not forget this is where all modern Music comes from: gospel, rock, blues, jazz, country... you name it. Worldwide. All from this basic area. We should all give Mississippians thanks for this.

I want you people to know that am 72 years old and I don't remember the 60's being anything like it is today, I was raised and born in Alabama on the gulf coast and traveled though Alabama and Mississippi and never seen the things am seeing today. We lived well and we were happy we had everything and lost it all after 1964 because we wanted to be with the white folks, big mistake on our part and we're paying for it today

So many different worlds in the US. It's bizarre to think

I was born in Greenwood, Mississippi and drifted between Greenwood and Chicago most of my life. Greenwood is what it is, just as Chicago is what it is now. We make our environments by what we allow and accept. We as a people all can do better.

This is my hometown. Seeing this brought tears to my eyes. Used to be such a beautiful vibrant town before the crack epidemic of the 80's destroyed so many people and families and all the factories left. Now its just a poor spirit less place that needs the grace of God to fix it! 😢

The cars are worth more than the houses and probably are maintained the same.

That place itself would motivate me to have a better life. While my hometown is not to that degree, the mentality is. It's a place stuck in time. I went into the military after high school and that was it. Now a college graduate, professional job, in another state, and a better life. Thank you, Jesus

Im from Toledo Ohio and this is my mother and grandmother home Town they moved north during the great migration in the 1950s im a bit of a historian and i always wanted to go visit their hometown both of them has passed but i just want to visit and feel their spirit of where they came from

It's refreshing to see neighborly country towns where most homes have a front porch and neighbors actually have relationships and get together. Kids run around and get together to play without formal parent-arranged play appointments.
-
This is where my people were brought from the Bahamas and up the Mississippi River. My ancestors are from Greenwood. I never been there but plan on visiting one day..
-
I’m black but would not want to live here. Too many men loitering and grass not cut, no landscaping and houses half falling apart.
-
My grandfather was killed here in 1957! My family still lives here!! I will be visiting in a few weeks

Dis dat sit on your porch with a rocking chair, with a shotgun type town
-
When you from the hood somebody feel comfortable but improvement is a must in life

There is this chick I work with always bragging about Mississippi, this and Mississippi that talking down on us but you’re up here on the West Coast living in the dream smh 🤦🏿 I should’ve sent her this video to remind her. How far have you come so be grateful

I’ve driven through many small towns across America and most of them look like this. It’s like they’re stuck in a time portal. It’s almost as if it’s like that on purpose 🤔
-
Towns that look like this are very common here in the south. The one thing I am noting thats particularly special about this town is all the trash on the ground though. Might do them some good to clean up once or twice. I know its hard to pay attention to that kinda stuff when youre broke as fuck though.
