Book Review: Blood Done Sign My Name
Summary: 5 Stars
Nevada County is our chosen home, but we previously lived for almost a decade in North Carolina near where the events in this book took place more than 30 years ago. We feel it is an important book in illustrating racial attitudes that were present, and still are in the south today.
Being native Californians, we didn't really realize these subtle attitudes fully until we lived and experienced them ourselves. This book written by a native North Carolinian Timothy Tyson, is well worth reading for bringing an even deeper layer to our understanding of racial issues. He is a professor of African American Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His style is full of the color and expression of a great storyteller as he relives his personal experience of the tragic event in a small southern town in such a recent history...our history.
Timothy Tyson's story has added a deeper understanding of how we must all face our history, even if we don't feel it applies to our own beliefs, before we can truly understand that we are all responsible, and move forward towards better humanity.
