Trouble in mind: Black southerners in the age of Jim Crow

Leon F. F. Litwack, "Trouble in mind: Black southerners in the age of Jim Crow"
English | 1998 | pages: 672 | ISBN: 039452778X, 0375702636 | EPUB | 2,2 mb

In April 1899, Black laborer Sam Hose killed his white boss in self-defense. Wrongly accused of raping the man's wife, Hose was mutilated, stabbed, and burned alive in front of 2,000 cheering whites. His body was sold piecemeal to souvenir seekers; an Atlanta grocery displayed his knuckles in its front window for a week.

Drawing on new documentation and first-person accounts, Litwack describes the injustices—both institutional and personal—inflicted against a people. Here, too, are the Black men and women whose activism, literature, and music preserved the genius of the human spirit.
