In Memphis, Tennessee, circa 1950, the Klu Klux Klan held devious power over politicians and the police. In this vivid remembrance by an elderly lady, she reveals how, as a child, she and her mother were in mortal danger through the folly of a much-loved aunt. Through her eyes, we see the facile face of bigotry and its devastating effect on the living and the dead. Woven throughout the horror of lynchings and other murders, a thread of uncommon humanity, and even humour, anchors this surprising tale.And, should you think that this story rings true, you would be correct, because it is true, with only names changed for the sake of discretion.
