Redemption

"Redemption" examines the violent campaign that dismantled the gains of the civil rights movement in the South after Reconstruction, highlighting a series of deadly attacks and political terrorism aimed at preventing Black Americans from exercising their rights. Drawing on extensive records and firsthand accounts, the book details how organized racial violence, resistance from white supremacist groups, and government inaction ultimately led to the loss of protections granted by the 14th and 15th Amendments. It offers a compelling, factual account of a pivotal period in American history that continues to influence contemporary issues of racial justice.
