On the Courthouse Lawn: Revised Edition

The Legacy of Lynching: Confronting the Silence is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the effects of lynching in the United States.

This revised edition, with a new foreword from Bryan Stevenson, offers concrete ways for communities to heal and issues a clarion call for communities with histories of racial violence to be proactive in facing this legacy.

The book provides a comprehensive overview of the nearly 5,000 black Americans who were lynched between 1890 and 1960, and the ongoing impact of this racial trauma on contemporary society.

With a focus on restorative justice techniques, Ifill offers a framework for communities to come together and confront the legacy of lynching in a meaningful way.

This is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the ongoing struggle for racial justice in America and how we can work towards healing and reconciliation.
