Blood in Their Eyes: The Elaine Race Massacres of 1919 by Grif StockleyA facilitated and open forum discussion on selected book Blood in Their Eyes: The Elaine Race Massacres of 1919 by Grif Stockley. Ask to check out this book at the Circulation Desk.
The tragedy of the race massacres in Elaine, Arkansas, is not only that they occurred, but that history has ignored them. In riveting prose, Stockley tells the full story of this incident, weighs the evidence and makes a clear and powerful case that white mobs and federal soldiers murdered black citizens of Elaine. And as he maps out the massacre, the resulting trials and the lives of the survivors, Stockley also tracks the twisting and silencing of the truth. (goodreads.com)
