The Randolph Public Library Book Discussion
MAY 12, 2025 at 10:00 a.m.
Copies of the book are available now at the Library.
Stony the Road: Reconstruction, White Supremacy, and the Rise of Jim Crow, written by The Harvard historian and PBS Finding Your Roots host lays bare the mortal struggle for the soul of the nation between defenders of Jim Crow America and Black resistors to white supremacy. An essential tour through one of America’s fundamental historical tragedies, Stony the Road is also a story of heroic resistance, as figures such as W. E. B. Du Bois and Ida B. Wells fought to create a counternarrative, and culture, inside the lion’s mouth. Gates’s inspired telling exposes crucial years in American history, and offers much to inform us about today's cultural and political divides.
This discussion is provided through a grant by: Perspectives Book Groups: A partnership program from New Hampshire Humanities and the Center for the Book at the NH State Library.
Discussion Facilitator:
Mary C. Kelly, Ph.D., Professor of History at Franklin Pierce University, where she has taught for twenty-five years, will be leading our discussion via Zoom. She previously led a discussion in 2023 and we are pleased to welcome her back.
This is the last meeting of the Mildred Horton Book Group for this year. Please join us.
Refreshments will be served.
