Author Kristen Lavelle draws on interviews with the oldest living generation of white southerners to uncover uncomfortable memories of our racial past. In these vivid excerpts, life-long southerners reflect on race in the segregated South, the civil rights era, and more recent decades. This book illustrates a number of complexities - how these white southerners both acknowledged and downplayed Jim Crowe racial oppression, appreciated desegregation yet also criticized the civil rights movement, and favorable assessed racial progress while still resenting reminders of its unflattering past.
