Blood at the Root: A Racial Cleansing in America by Patrick Phillips

4.0

Even in the 90s, Forsyth County had a reputation as an unsafe place for black people. This book was eye opening for me. Phillips presents a thoroughly researched and detailed account of the history of Forsyth while making it clear that the racial hatred found there was not limited to one county or to the South. Phillips manages to add context without excuses. This was a challenging and at times very painful but ultimately worthwhile read.
