Village life turns out to be less idyllic than she expected, however, and a peculiar dream of the color blue propels her on a quest to uncover her family’s French ancestry.

Download or read book Mary Turner and the Memory of Lynching written by Julie Buckner Armstrong and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Turner and the Memory of Lynching traces the reaction of activists, artists, writers, and local residents to the brutal lynching of a pregnant woman near Valdosta, Georgia. In 1918, the murder of a white farmer led to a week of mob violence that claimed the lives of at least eleven African Americans, including Hayes Turner. When his wife Mary vowed to press charges against the killers, she too fell victim to the mob. Mary's lynching was particularly brutal and involved the grisly death of her eight-month-old fetus. It led to both an entrenched local silence and a widespread national response in newspaper and magazine accounts, visual art, film, literature, and public memorials. Turner's story became a centerpiece of the Anti-Lynching Crusaders campaign for the 1922 Dyer Bill, which sought to make lynching a federal crime. Julie Buckner Armstrong explores the complex and contradictory ways this horrific event was remembered in works such as Walter White's report in the NAACP's newspaper the Crisis, the “Kabnis” section of Jean Toomer's Cane, Angelina Weld Grimké's short story “Goldie,” and Meta Fuller's sculpture Mary Turner: A Silent Protest against Mob Violence. Like those of Emmett Till and Leo Frank, Turner's story continues to resonate on multiple levels. Armstrong's work provides insight into the different roles black women played in the history of lynching: as victims, as loved ones left behind, and as those who fought back. The crime continues to defy conventional forms of representation, illustrating what can, and cannot, be said about lynching and revealing the difficulty and necessity of confronting this nation's legacy of racial violence.

A one night stand between a small town medium and a hot cop leads to a mistaken identity. Will the truth get in the way of solving a murder in this psychic paranormal romance? —Rae Lee— I sensed that Detective Anson Ames doubted my abilities when he contacted me to help a grieving mother pick up the pieces and find closure surrounding her missing child. Anson’s not the first skeptic I’ve encountered. He isn’t even the first man I’ve taken home from Sweet Caroline’s without being honest about who I really am. Sometimes it’s a relief pretending to be someone I’m not… Someone normal. Now the ghost of a little girl is trying to show me what happened to her, and the drop-dead gorgeous cynic assigned to this cold case is focused on the fact that he woke up alone. A medium might communicate with the dead, but after last night, I don’t know how I’ll get Anson to believe anything I say.
