Sleeping with the Ancestors

In "Sleeping with the Ancestors," historic preservationist Joseph McGill Jr. shares his unique journey of sleeping in former slave dwellings through the Slave Dwelling Project, founded in 2010. This personal narrative explores the rich yet often overlooked histories of these sites, intertwining McGill's experiences and community conversations to illuminate broader themes of race in America. Coauthored with Herb Frazier, the book provides an important exploration of slavery's legacy, complete with a new afterword and a reading group guide.
