B&W era photos and photo section. Tiny edge wear top DJ edge. CONTENT: Lynchings, beatings, arson, denial of rights, false imprisonment--the civil rights era brought attention to these heinous offenses that were the status quo for African Americans in many areas of the country. And no state was more notorious as a sanctuary for the murderers and perpetrators of hate crimes than Mississippi. In 1956 state lawmakers installed the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission to preserve segregation and "Mississippi Values" by declaring the state outside the jurisdiction of the federal government. Under the auspices of the governor and lieutenant governor, the commission joined forces with groups such as the White Citizens' Councils, which would stop at nothing in their quest for white supremacy.

Little, Brown & Company, 2018. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/New. CONDITION: NEW 2018 Little, Brown hardcover (red boards0 & dust jacket, first edition, first printing. Deckle-edges. CONTENT: Four young men struggle to liberate themselves from the burden of being black and male in America in an assured debut "as up-to the-minute as a Kendrick Lamar track and as ruefully steeped in eternal truths as a Gogol tale". Bound together by shared experience but pulled apart by their changing fortunes, four young friends coming of age in the postindustrial enclave of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, struggle to liberate themselves from the legacies left to them as black men in America. With potent immediacy and bracing candor, this provocative debut follows a decade in the lives of Dub, Rolls, Rye, and Gio as they each grapple with the complexity of their family histories, the newfound power of sex and drugs, and the ferocity of their desires. Gio proves himself an unforgettable…

Hill and Wang, 2013. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/New. B&W map of the "Riot" by Jeffrey Ward. CONDITION: NEW 2013 Hill & Wang hardcover (tan boards) & dust jacket, first edition, first printing. B&W map of the "riot" area. CONTENT: An unprecedented account of one of the bloodiest and most significant racial clashes in American history. In May 1866, just a year after the Civil War ended, Memphis erupted in a three-day spasm of racial violence that saw whites rampage through the city's black neighborhoods. By the time the fires consuming black churches and schools were put out, forty-six freed people had been murdered. Congress, furious at this and other evidence of white resistance in the conquered South, launched what is now called Radical Reconstruction, policies to ensure the freedom of the region's four million blacks?and one of the most remarkable experiments in American history. This is a portrait of a Southern city that opens an entirely new view onto the Civil War and its aftermath.…

CONDITION: NEW 2016 Basic Civitas Books hardcover (gold boards) & dust jacket, first edition, first printing. Great B&W era photos (late 1870s mostly) section. CONTENT: Starting with a photograph and some writings left by her grandmother, Thulani Davis goes looking for the "white folk" in her family-a Scots-Irish family of cotton planters unknown to her-and uncovers a history far richer and stranger than she had ever imagined. When Davis's grandmother died in 1971, she was writing a novel about her parents, Mississippi cotton farmers who met after the Civil War: Chloe Curry, a former slave from Alabama, married with several children, and Will Campbell, a white planter from Missouri who had never marriedIn this compelling intersection of genealogy, memoir, and Reconstruction history, Davis picks up where her grandmother left off. Her journey takes her from…

Simon & Schuster, 2020. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/New. No illustrations. CONDITION: What makes this book "As New?" Small remainder mark top edges. UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 2020 Simon & Schuster hardcover (black boards) & dust jacket (in mylar cover), first edition, first printing. No illustrations. CONTENT: "For almost two decades, investigative journalist Jerry Mitchell doggedly pursued the Klansmen responsible for some of the most notorious murders of the civil rights movement. This book is his amazing story. Thanks to him, and to courageous prosecutors, witnesses, and FBI agents, justice finally prevailed." -John Grisham. On June 21, 1964, more than twenty Klansmen murdered three civil rights workers. The killings, in what would become known as the "Mississippi Burning" case, were among the most brazen acts of violence during the civil rights movement. And even though the killers' identities, including the sheriff's deputy, were an open secret, no one was charged with murder…

Hachette, 2021. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/New. No illustrations. CONDITION: AS NEW - why? - because it was my book - read and enjoyed and treated very very gently. As New 2021 Hachette hardcover (white cover - why oh why?) and dust jacket, first edition, first printing. No illustrations. CONTENT: Based on dozens of shocking interviews with some of the most influential names in sports, this is the urgent and revelatory examination of racial inequality in professional athletics America has been waiting for. Commentators, coaches, and fans alike have long touted the diverse rosters of leagues like the NFL and MLB as sterling examples of a post-racial America. Yet decades after Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised their fists in a display of Black power and pride, and years after Colin Kaepernick shocked the world by kneeling for the national anthem, the role Black athletes and coaches are expected to perform-both on and off the field-still can be determined as much by stereotype…

Alfred Knopf, 2003. 1st Edition Assumed 1st. Hardcover. New/As New. a few B&W photos throughout. CONDITION: UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 2003 Knopf hardcover (white boards) and dust jacket (in mylar cover), first edition, assumed first printing. PROBLEM: very light edge wear to dust jacket edges. CONTENT: Sons of Mississippi recounts the story of seven white Mississippi lawmen depicted in a horrifically telling 1962 Life magazine photograph-and of the racial intolerance that is their legacy. In that photograph, which appears on the front of this jacket, the lawmen (six sheriffs and a deputy sheriff) admire a billy club with obvious pleasure, preparing for the unrest they anticipate-and to which they clearly intend to contribute-in the wake of James Meredith's planned attempt to integrate the University of Mississippi. In finding the stories of these men, Paul Hendrickson gives us an extraordinarily revealing picture of racism in America at that moment. But his ultimate focus is on…
