This book describes an important moment in America’s struggle to create a new kind of society. History tells us that battle started with the American Revolution in 1775, however, Dr. Gillespie’s book describes this continuing American battle for this new interracial community as described in the events and aftermath of the 2015 massacre of nine persons at the Emanuel AME Church in South Carolina.
Reviews
“There are many in a new generation of South Carolinians and of Southerners in general who say by word or deed that they know the time has come to lay aside those particular values inherited from the past that are hateful or have lost their usefulness… Hate cannot be allowed to prevail. Love must surpass it.”
