About this product

Product Information

The "riveting"* true story of the fiery summer of 1970, which would forever transform the town of Oxford, North Carolina--a classic portrait of the fight for civil rights in the tradition of To Kill a Mockingbird * Chicago Tribune On May 11, 1970, Henry Marrow, a twenty-three-year-old black veteran, walked into a crossroads store owned by Robert Teel and came out running. Teel and two of his sons chased and beat Marrow, then killed him in public as he pleaded for his life. Like many small Southern towns, Oxford had barely been touched by the civil rights movement. But in the wake of the killing, young African Americans took to the streets. While lawyers battled in the courthouse, the Klan raged in the shadows and black Vietnam veterans torched the town's tobacco warehouses. Tyson's father, the pastor of Oxford's all-white Methodist church, urged the town to come to terms with its bloody racial history. In the end, however, the Tyson family was forced to move away. Tim Tyson's gripping narrative brings gritty blues truth and soaring gospel vision to a shocking episode of our history. FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD "If you want to read only one book to understand the uniquely American struggle for racial equality and the swirls of emotion around it, this is it." -- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel " Blood Done Sign My Name is a most important book and one of the most powerful meditations on race in America that I have ever read." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer "Pulses with vital paradox . . . It's a detached dissertation, a damning dark-night-of-the-white-soul, and a ripping yarn, all united by Tyson's powerful voice, a brainy, booming Bubba profundo." -- Entertainment Weekly "Engaging and frequently stunning." -- San Diego Union-Tribune

    Blood Done Sign My Name

    This is the true story of a lynching that took place in the 1950s. It is told by the son of a Methodist minister in North Carolina whose best friend one day told him, "Papa and them got 'em a nigger." It is well-written and well-researched. I grew up in the South during the same time as the author, but this book helped me understand the racial situation during that time so much better. This is an important book.

    Blood done sign my name

    I wanted to read the book because they are filming the movie in the city where I live and I wanted to know what the movie was going to be about. It is a really good story about the racial issues in the south at that time. I didn't know anything about this true story untill the filming started. I knew times were bad but not untill you read the book do you understand alot about things and how they were.

    Blood Done Sign My Name

    Easy to read and I learned lots I did not know about the Civil Rights Movement. I had been sold the tale that the movement was passive, which partly is true, however this book makes it clear that violence(rioting) was the clincher that made white people accept the Civil Rights of their fellow Americans of a darker shade.
