More about the book

The book presents a gripping account of a 1916 mass lynching in North Florida, where a white mob brutally killed six members of a Black family. It explores the immediate aftermath, including a brief national outcry and investigations by the NAACP, along with the condemnation from prominent figures like W. E. B. Dubois. Despite the initial attention, the incident was largely forgotten, shrouded in silence for nearly a century. This narrative history uncovers the hidden truths of this tragic event and its impact on the community.
