On the Laps of Gods: The Red Summer of 1919 and the Struggle for Justice That Remade a Nation
The Arkansas Delta: A Heartbreaking but Triumphant Story of Courage and Will is a gripping tale of racial injustice, courage, and resilience that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
This book carefully documents and exposes one of the worst racial massacres in American history, where posses and federal troops gunned down over 100 men, women, and children.
But that's just the beginning - white authorities also arrested over 300 black farmers and sentenced 12 union leaders to death in unfair trials.
Enter Scipio Africanus Jones, an extraordinary lawyer born a slave who joined forces with the NAACP to mount an appeal.
Despite the state of Arkansas' confidence in victory, Jones argued that his clients' constitutional rights to a fair trial had been violated, and the U.S.
Supreme Court set aside the criminal verdict in a groundbreaking decision.
This book is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, civil rights, or the power of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
