New perspectives on slavery and freedom - Feature: Black History Month is an annual celebration of black achievements as well as a reminder of the ongoing struggle against adversity. In three new books, George Washington’s runaway slave achieves freedom, members of the black elite in post-Reconstruction Washington, D.C., wrestle with Jim Crow and a Mississippi murder re-invigorates the civil rights movement.
At CCPL we have all of the titles highlighted in the article,

"Blood of Emmett Till" by Timothy B. Tyson is available as a book, eBook, and downloadable audiobook.
