Więcej o książce

The book delves into the tragic events of a 1916 mass lynching in North Florida, where a white mob brutally killed six members of a Black family. It explores the societal dynamics and the involvement of prominent local figures, highlighting the brief national outrage that followed, including an NAACP investigation and W. E. B. Dubois's condemnation. Despite this attention, the incident was largely forgotten, shrouded in silence for nearly a century, making the narrative a crucial examination of racial violence and historical memory.
