Just saw this beautiful “We the People” feature by , shining a spotlight on Orange Mound, one of Memphis’s oldest and most vibrant Black‑owned communities — and it includes longtime ITNMemphis rider, Orange Mound resident, and dedicated historian Ms. Mary Mitchell. 🌟
From stories of her own family’s seven-generation legacy in the same house, to how Orange Mound stood as a thriving suburb for formerly enslaved families before being incorporated into Memphis, Ms. Mitchell’s passion and pride truly bring the neighborhood’s history to life https://www.actionnews5.com.
Her deep roots and knowledge help us remember that Orange Mound’s legacy isn’t just part of Memphis history — it *is* part of American history. Bravo, Ms. Mitchell — and thank you, , for honoring her incredible work!
