More about the book

Focusing on the grassroots civil rights movement in Fayette County, Tennessee, this oral history captures the resilience of a rural Black community facing severe oppression. Author Robert Hamburger chronicles the brutal resistance faced by residents attempting to register to vote, including evictions and the creation of a "tent city" for dispossessed families. Through extensive interviews, the narrative reveals personal stories of courage and defiance against systemic injustice. The reprint edition features documentary photographs and a reflective afterword on the ongoing relevance of these issues.
