A caravan of Klansmen and Neo-Nazis sped from the scene\, leaving behind five dead. Known as the “Greensboro Massacre\,” the event and its aftermath encapsulate the racial conflict\, economic anxiety\, clash of ideologies\, and toxic mix of corruption and conspiracy that roiled American democracy then—and threaten it today. In 88 seconds\, one Southern city shattered over irreconcilable visions of America’s past and future. When the shooters are acquitted in the courts\, Reverend Johnson\, his wife Joyce\, and their allies\, at odds with the police and the Greensboro establishment\, sought alternative forms of justice. As the Johnsons rebuilt their lives after 1979\, they found inspiration in Nelson Mandela’s post-apartheid Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Martin Luther King Jr’s concept of Beloved Community and insist that only by facing history’s hardest truths can healing come to the city they refuse to give up on. This intimate\, deeply researched\, and heart-stopping account draws upon survivor interviews\, court documents\, and the files from one of the largest investigations in FBI history. The persistent mysteries of the case touch deep cultural insecurities and contradictions about race and class. A quintessentially American story\, Morningside explores the courage required to make change and the evolving pursuit of a more inclusive and equal future. \nRegistration is required to join our discussion of Morningside. Books are available upon request starting October 1st. \nWatch NC Humanities’ virtual book event with author Aran Shetterly and historian Dr. Ajamu Dillahunt-Holloway in a conversation moderated by Melissa Giblin.

SUMMARY:NC Reads Book Discussion: The Caretaker
DESCRIPTION:North Carolina Reads is North Carolina Humanities’ award-winning\, statewide book club! North Carolina Reads annually features five books that explore issues of racial\, social\, and gender equity and the history and culture of North Carolina. All featured books pose critical questions about how North Carolinians view their personal roles in helping to promote and form a more just and inclusive society.  Learn more about the book selections here. \nThe Caretaker by Ron Rash\nFiction. It’s 1951 in Blowing Rock\, North Carolina. Blackburn Gant\, his life irrevocably altered by a childhood case of polio\, seems condemned to spend his life among the dead as the sole caretaker of a hilltop cemetery. It suits his withdrawn personality\, and the inexplicable occurrences that happen from time to time rattle him less than interaction with the living. But when his best and only friend\, the kind but impulsive Jacob Hampton\, is conscripted to serve overseas\, Blackburn is charged with caring for Jacob’s wife\, Naomi\, as well. Sixteen-year-old Naomi Clarke is an outcast in Blowing Rock\, an outsider\, poor and uneducated\, who works as a seasonal maid in the town’s most elegant hotel. When Naomi eloped with Jacob a few months after her arrival\, the marriage scandalized the community\, most of all his wealthy parents who disinherited him. Shunned by the townsfolk for their differences and equally fearful that Jacob may never come home\, Blackburn and Naomi grow closer and closer until a shattering development derails numerous lives.\nA tender examination of male friendship and rivalry as well as a riveting\, page-turning novel of familial devotion\, The Caretaker brilliantly depicts the human capacity for delusion and destruction all too often justified as acts of love. \nRegistration is required to join our discussion of The Caretaker. Books are available upon request starting November 2nd. \nWatch NC Humanities’ virtual book event (live event May 27th) with author Ron Rash.
