A Community Called Orange Mound

A Community Called Orange Mound (2013) is a documentary film directed by Jay Killingsworth.

Orange Mound is a southeast Memphis neighborhood with a surprising legacy. With roots going back to the time of plantations and slavery, Orange Mound grew at the end of the nineteenth century out of the remains of that defunct way of life. It was one of the first communities in the United States to be built entirely by and for African Americans.
