She brilliantly illustrates the persistent generational trauma that results from America's racially imbalanced social and legal systems for the oppressed and oppressor, the privileged and unprivileged, and the complacent and the activist, alike.\"—Rev. Keisha I. Patrick, Esq.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Lots of writers have tackled America's historic abuses of Black people and Black families. But few handle the subject as deftly as Sharon Tubbs, whose \u003ci\u003eThey Got Daddy\u003c\/i\u003e connects the trauma which reverberated through her own family history when her grandfather was abused by powerful white people, to the larger history of Black America's attempts to survive similar oppression. Her story is poignant and carefully told, filled with telling details and powerful writing, making the case that such injustices never stay in the past, but are passed through a family's DNA in a way that makes the trauma a living thing to be coped with every day. \u003ci\u003eThey Got Daddy\u003c\/i\u003e provides important lessons on how to understand — and hopefully come to terms with — a legacy of oppression which remains a potent force in America to this day.\"—Eric Deggans, National Public Radio, TV Critic and Media Analyst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A gorgeous and haunting book, spun so carefully you can smell the dirt roads and the shirt starch and the bologna sandwiches. You hear the poetry in the voices of the characters. You feel how suddenly darkness drops and meanness strikes, and how steadfastly the family of Preacher Page leans on its faith. A triumph of reporting and storytelling.\"—Kelley Benham French, senior editor, USA TODAY and author of Juniper: The Girl Who Was Born Too Soon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"After reading \u003ci\u003eThey Got Daddy\u003c\/i\u003e, now it's my turn to use this deeper understanding of the reality of the past to explore my personal role standing next to Sharon and others in solidarity. We have a long road ahead to acknowledge the unspeakable horrors of the past and there is no single solution. But rather than ask ourselves when will the hatred end, perhaps the better question is, where can I help the healing start?\"—\u003ci\u003eThe Journal Gazette, Fort Wayne\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"An exceptionally well written, organized and presented combination of Black History and Biography, \u003ci\u003eThey Got Daddy: One Family's Reckoning with Racism and Faith\u003c\/i\u003e is a compelling story and one that is especially and unreservedly recommended...\"—\u003ci\u003eMidwest Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e1.
