Description

A collection of oral histories from Black elders who grew up in the Jim Crow South, Those Who Saw the Sun offers a unique perspective on this period of American history.

Edited by Jaha Nailah Avery, this book brings together the stories of individuals who lived through the era of racial segregation and oppression. Avery's personal connection to the region, rooted in her family's 300-year history in North Carolina, lends depth and authenticity to the collection.

Through these interviews, readers gain insight into the experiences of Black people during this tumultuous time, including their struggles, triumphs, and perspectives on the era. This is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of American history, one that sheds light on the lives and voices often overlooked.
