1. Blood At The Root
"Blood at the Root" is a compelling historical analysis that uncovers the racial cleansing that took place in Forsyth County, Georgia, in 1912. The book details how white residents violently expelled the entire Black population of the county, using intimidation, terror, and murder. This event led to a racial purity that persisted in the county for nearly 80 years. Through meticulous research and personal narratives, the book examines the broader implications of racial violence and the shadows it casts over generations, challenging the reader to confront the deep roots of racism and injustice in America.
